but it is never with out a few bottle now

more time in a day

just about everthing at one time or another
best but got to be my 1920 solid oak table chairs and side board
that was 25 years ago and still going strong

forgot to net my cherries one year
the birds had the lot in one day than had the cheek to drop the stones down my chimmey
making a mess in the house the little gits ;O)

i just put the lot in compost bin
and just pull weeds up while they are small
found i get a lot less weed sence i been covering any unsed ground over the winter with carboard
which i then compost when i start planting the next year

loads of dirt come in very handy for my new raised bed
loads of wood that made new front for my compost bins
tumble dryer drum now in planter for my jasmin
and a washing machine drum that me huckleberry and gojio berry are in
it all helps out

that i have
been at it for year' s
first because i never had the money
than because i enjoy it and hate to see if any thing go to waste and they is a hell of a lot of it in restarant kitchen
but i lot less with me about hehe

grown these from seed this is there 3rd year still no flowers or fruit :O(

wild strawsberries
strawberries
raspberries
blueberries
cherries loads and loads of them
french beans
beetroot
tunnips
radishes red
raddish large purple one the blow your head off
swiss chard
spinage
leaf saldard
pok choi
oopppss nearly forgot the rhubarbs

alway add lemon juice when useing pectin
as pectine needs the acid to work best

i put the whole lot in
don't think it matters at all

strom could of waited until after i picked all me cherries
well at least i got enough dry to put on first batch of wine
cherry brandy will have to until weekend

have alway remove leafs but after all the fruit has set
seams to work for me

i half fill large jar with cherries you surpose to prick them but i find if you freeze them does a better job and far quicker add about 500GMS sugar and cover with 4 bottle of brandy and leave in cupboard for a year but still very good to drink after 3-4 month but a tender to make loads and only bot...

cheers folks
that should get me started
better go pick cherries
cherry brandy is the law in this house never with out a bottle or 20 or 30
and very good made with the sour cherries

cheers
