We might pull some for the weekend

The first, pink rhubarb stems

Harvested in October, kept in a cardboard box in the cat barn and part has been used for cooking today

Still perfect after nearly six months. Definitely a variety of pumpkin to grow again

Into the soup pot with onions, garlic, carrots and potatoes

Happy is the lamb….

….who goes outside for the first time in its life. Domino and the twins came out of the barn this morning and will live in the paddock until the twins are weaned from the bottle
