This has definitely been the year of cauliflowers,

This has definitely been the year of cauliflowers, parsnips and mountain spinach. And also serious deer damage 😭. Most of my winter kale has been eaten and the same with the Brussels. I’m a bit gutted but I’ve learnt over the years that you really cannot control nature and these things happen! Onto some exciting news…I have uploaded my Tulsi (holy basil) workshop to my Patreon account. This workshop is so great if you’re looking to create some relaxing herbal remedies that will be ready in time for the festive period. There’s a fruity and aromatic oxymel that I plan to use as a shrub, diluted in fizzy water. A mind blowingly good moon mylk that’s ideal for soothing frazzled nerves. And a glycerite that’s great for travelling or popping into your bag and works wonders on anxious tummy’s and anxiety in general. At the moment I’m uploading all my workshops to Patreon as it’s simpler for me and you can sign up and cancel anytime but hopefully I’ll find a way of also putting these onto my website as well in the future.
🌸🎄💚 Hope you’re all keeping really well and settling into late autumn 🍂

Spot the bee! 🐝 Slowly autumn is reeling in and winter feels close now. The temperatures have plummeted and the polytunnels have been wed and just need to be mulched ready for a long sleep. I’ve said goodbye to the gorgeous sunflowers that bloomed at the back of one tunnel and managed to get one last bouquet from them, bringing a bit of summer back into the house. 🌻 I still have my autumn planted veg growing however-some chard, oriental salads and fennel that will keep me going until February when I will be sowing again. How is your garden looking?

I was meant to post up this recipe for apple and blackberry cake a while ago but time has flown and suddenly the blackberries have gone! However it’s still a tasty recipe for just apples alone so I’ve posted it over on my blog for now. 🍎 The main culprit for me being a bit useless on Instagram recently has been that we’ve been running our annual Halloween event here at @broughgammonfrm , which means a ton of admin, sign making, and running around with pumpkins 😆🎃 we have two weekends left to get through and then I think I won’t want to see another pumpkin in a loooong time!! How has your October been so far? And what has your favourite autumnal bake been? X

In a blink of an eye the apples are ripe and have been harvested. The blackberries have almost vanished from the hedgerows and there’s a chill in the air. Time to start thinking about pumpkins! October is a full to bursting month for me. We are hosting our Halloween event on the farm which means setting up pumpkin picking, crafts and more and managing that over the coming weeks. I’m also hoping to squeeze in a trip to see my sister in her stunning new abode in Sussex 🏰 somewhere in the midst of juggling pumpkins! 😆I’ve also very much started Christmas shopping and planning for the festive season. Purely because it’s my favourite time of year and I like to drag it out for as long as possible 😂 Are you like me or do you like to leave all the festive things to the last minute?
