End of summer, and it's been a scorcher! 🌞

Some of the vegetables have grown well....
Peas, tomatoes, baby corn, potatoes, apples🫛🍅🌽🥔🍏

And others not so well.....
Bitter cucumbers, wilted aubergines, mouse-eaten beans and lettuce 🥒🍆🌱🫘🥬🐁

But overall, it's still rewarding to harvest fresh food for dinner so I regret nothing!

Fresh organic homegrown veg is the best!

Anyone else had any gardening success?

Or got any tips for growing cucumbers that don't taste bitter?

Modern-folk duo Friction Farm, is a husband and wife team of travelling troubadours. Aidan Quinn and Christine Stay, combine storytelling, social commentary and humor to create songs of everyday life, local heroes, and quirky observations. Their lyrically rich, harmony-driven songs earned them spots as Kerrville New Folk Finalists, Falcon Ridge Emerging Artists, and South Florida Folk Festival Songwriter winners. on their latest CD, “Stone By Stone” , which reached #3 on the Folk Radio Chart, Friction Farm lives up to their name nurturing strong and beautiful songs from the creative fertile ground of a troubled world.

What have you done with your evening?

These lovely people have been crafting, chatting and unwinding in the yurt, each creating a unique woven willow heart to take home and remember the experience.

What a wonderful way to spend a summer evening in such a peaceful setting. 🌿

What's your favourite way to unwind after work on a summer evening?

But everyone will want one by winter!

Excellent use for a tomato too 🍅
