It’s New Year’s Eve 2012 so a great time to take stock, particularly as outside the wind has picked up and the never ending rain lashes against the study window. What will 2013 bring? Will we ever have a summer again, will flooding now be the norm, can the country ever pick itself up again following the HUGE 2012 year of partying to a Royal Wedding, Queen’s Jubilee, Olympics and Paralympics. The magic of Spring never fails to revitalise the senses, I have no fear, rock on 2013. Mother Nature release the Goddess of Spring from your warm embrace and let us start all over again!

Happy New Year everyone!

Borlotti Beans suddenly looking good, I love the colourful pods and the finished product is sensational when used in stews!

We’ve done very well out of lettuce this year, a bumper crop you might say. Was kinda funny watching them grow into lettuce trees, the compost beckons!

From this lettuce, grows mighty oaks!

This is what happens to your cabbages if you don’t take proper care to cover them!

Note to self, I will pay attention and put more effort in next year to give the cabbage the love and care it deserves!

Not sure what type of caterpillar, but there’s a lot of em

And it looked so good yesterday
