Shielded Homestead Life

Our little homestead has been my salvation during lockdown. Shielding from everyone including family and friends and not venturing outside my front door would be unbearable we’re it not for our wonderful garden homesteads outside space and the joy of planting and harvesting.

This month we’ve been harvesting peas, beans, kale, lettuce, radishes, strawberries,  raspberries, many many different herbs, lemon balm, mint and fennel teas are wonderful and the early potatoes, garlic, and onions are coming on a treat. 

I’ve begun preserving fruit - apple sauce and raspberry jam made and marmalade on the agenda!
