@@ourlittlebulgarianadventure I use 2lb quince, 2 pints water, sugar. roughly cut fruit, no need to peel or core, simmer until soft. Strain in jelly bag, allow 1lb sugar for each pint. Boil until set. Sorry its imperial but its an old recipe
Lynne bought some pictures and a glass tray, I kept looking at the tools but I exercised some self control! The supervisors are keeping me busy but it seems my work is up to standard!
With the quinces you can make compote - put in a jar some fruit, sugar and water, you can add a leave of Pelargonium Rosseum in every jar, if you like the way it smells.
The apples were already here. We had to hunt around for someone who could supply rhubarb plants. Hopefully they will take and spread, we only have two at the moment!
A Man a man, a word a word. Yes you started the winter supply for the wood. Do you eat the grape leaves? It tastes wonderful.Its a bit bitter but special. If you are looking for a recipe you can find it in the Greek and Turkish kitchen. You need young leaves without hard nerves.
It's amazing just how much growing goes on in the gardens isn't it? This time of year our shared bin is always full of garden waste. None of it is ours, we're still trying to master composting!
I'm trying to compost but nothing much happening. Meanwhile it's the wrong time to compost the weeds so fingers crossed the binmen will take the bags away .
Ours slopes a bit but nothing too serious. Once the undergrowth (jungle) is tamed (two months of intense strimming this time of year) it looks after itself. Maybe you could have a zigzag pathway through the trees? It could seem less steep and the views could be worth the climb!
WOW the wood pile! Do you paint the base of your fruit trees with the lime stuff or anything? We really love your garden and woodlands, and lovely views from the field; the wildflowers are lovely. Adam will you be making some apple cider with all those apples, and maybe some quince gin?
The pile is getting gradually smaller but the effort involved saves us a small fortune! We haven't done anything to the tree trunks, (we're don't really know what we're doing! 🤫) It was the outside spaces that made us choose this house, they are magical. You must visit when you are here and see in real life. I'll leave the cider to Ivan (New beginnings in Bulgaria) but quince gin sounds interesting. I'll try when I get my still up and running. 😁
@@ourlittlebulgarianadventure we would love to visit for sure, thank you. Lol, I think you underestimate yourselves, it's just we see the Bulgarians painting the trunks of their trees with the lime stuff to keep bugs from eating them perhaps. Oh yes Ivan could probably do the cider! Our aunt made some lovely cherry vodka which I (Nikki) tried last week and it was delicious.
Brilliant video, thank you :)
Thanks Jezza, glad you enjoyed it!
I've been weeding and theres six bin bags full upto now hopefullythe bin men will take them on Tuesday.
Ive ordered my fire wood from the village mayor and it will be with me sometime in September
I think that's the best value firewood, the cost has risen quite sharply with the commercial suppliers.
My favorite is quince jelly 🥰
Good suggestion Pauline, I'll have to look out for a suitable recipe.

Another Great video 👍👍
Thank you, we enjoy making them. It's good to hear you enjoy watching them.
Was thinking of you whilst standing in Tesco with the marmite on the shelf. Bruce
Thanks Bruce, it's good to hear Marmite and I have a connection! 😂
Can,t belive yea did not buy anything at the market, I guess it is not compulsory. Your little supervisors are working very hard as usual.

Thank you Nadya, we will have to try that. We may also try a jelly to accompany cold meats.
I envy you your rhubarb and apples.

I'm on the look out for rhubarb I'll get some eventually. Same with an apple tree ortw9

All of the wood is processed now, we have plenty for winter!
I will check out various recipes, we're always looking to try something new.
Ive been weeding six binbags to be taken on tuesday by the binmen but there'll be loads more by then

Your woodland is fabulous.....not on a vertical slope like ours! 😂
