Today's photos!

Just thought I'd share some photos I took today as it was a lovely and sunny day.

Gorgeous little broccoli head
My dear DH came out and helped with weeding!! Such a rare sight so fortunate I've got photos to prove that he can weed! :D

Weeding the oldest boy's bed
The north side of the beds - see potato plants!

Mid beds - all green eh?
I think all the rains have helped a bit...

From ALS, I thought I'd have a go with making home-made lemon oil vinegar for both cooking and cleaning.

My Lemonade tree's full of fruits and its' still flowering! So gotta lighten up its load and used the peels for this special project.

Lemonade oil infused vinegar


The idea is to infuse the vinegar (in this case I used cheap white vinegar) in a glass jar with citrus peels for two weeks to allow the oils to leach out into the vinegar. From 5 mins after peeling lemonade skins into the jar, the vinegary smell has been replaced with lemony smell! So it will be interesting to see how it goes over the time.

I will juice the lemonades for juice and freeze them for summer - lemonade sorbet anyone? :D

A bucketful of citrus fruits from our Citrus orchard - lucky us, eh?
Cheers till later!
