I love doing some carving projects, and I love sharing them almost as much as doing them.

GREAT Achocha Relish/Pickle
I have found an incredible way to use up these achocha fruits.
A few weeks back I posted about trying to make achocha jam. Which was tasty but still not quite what we were after when trying to find something t do with them (and had a weird consistency).

English Country Life
If you're on social media enough you make some good friends along the way (this blog is a perfect example of that.
They've just opened an online shop selling quality smallholder equipment from UK firms and I thought it deserved a share. They have a great range of poultry equipment as well as other tools and electric fencing, they're a lovely friendly couple who so happily share their knowledge with others, I hope the shop gets the support it deserves!
Two friends I have made are Hugh and Fiona, who run the YouTube channel English Country Life (almost as good as my own channel). Hugh and I chat frequently, you can even spot one of my baskets in some of their videos!
Go have a look and say Kev sent you!

How I Make My Compost And Grain Scoops
Sometimes people are surprised that I don't make everything individually. But to make any money (and honestly I'm not making much) everything has to be made in batches. I tend to normally stick to batches of 8, 10 or 12 for things like my trays or baskets, but smaller items, like my scoops get made in in bigger quantities.
Last week I made 34 more wooden scoops, and then needed to make some more of my folded galvanised still ones.
This meant a trip over to my Dad's farm and the use of the metal working equipment there.

Saving Seeds I Won't Grow
I know, random title to a blog post. But that's exactly what I've done here.
These seeds are from a squash I harvested this year. It was a self set hybrid, of which I'm not sure of the parents.
