{Storing the Harvest} DIY Dried Apricots

Posted on December 30, 2013 by Christine • Leave a comment

Since I discovered that I had a bunch of apricots that desperately needed to be used I decided to use the more bruised ones to make diced dried apricots. (I also plan to bake some oat and apricot biscuits with these during the week – stay tuned!). I started off with this pile of apricots … Continue reading →

{Storing the Harvest} Apricots

Posted on December 29, 2013 by Christine • 1 Comment

I’ve been engaged in an on-going battle with the birds for the past week in an attempt to ensure that I actually get to use some of the apricots on my tree. To do this, I have been going out daily and picking as many apricots as I can reach (and look close to ripe) … Continue reading →

{Decluttering} Donating to Uplift Project

Posted on December 28, 2013 by Christine • 3 Comments

One of the things I always end up doing after Christmas is frantically trying to declutter so that I can fit in all of the various Christmas presents that arrive (mostly for the kids). Some things are easier to dispose of than others – most things get donated to an opshop, though I also periodically … Continue reading →

{Garden Pest} Pear and Cherry Slug

Posted on December 27, 2013 by Christine • 5 Comments

Last week I visited my friend to get some crabapples for my crabapple jam. While I was there we wandered around her makeshift orchard, admiring the various fruit trees she had planted. When we got to her pear tree she pointed out this strange, black sludgy thing that was on the leaves of her pear … Continue reading →

{DIY} Chalk Jam Labels

Posted on December 26, 2013 by Christine • 7 Comments

For Christmas I made 30 tiny jars of jam to give as gifts, which meant I  needed a way to label 30 tiny jars of jam. I also needed to find a way to label them that a) didn’t cost very much money and b) covered up the lids since I was recycling them. I … Continue reading →

Posted on December 24, 2013 by Christine • 3 Comments

I have no idea where the last few weeks have gone, but apparently my advent calendar informs me that there is only one day left til Christmas! This means that it’s time to finish up with all those Christmas projects I’ve been working on and get them all wrapped for tomorrow. First up were the food … Continue reading →

{DIY} Christmas Gifts – Crabapple Jelly

Posted on December 22, 2013 by Christine • 4 Comments

In keeping with my attempts to make my Christmas hampers this year for as little as possible I recently put a call out on facebook to see if any of my friends had fruit going to waste that they wanted to donate to my jam making quest. One of my friends replied and said she … Continue reading →

Repotting Strawberry Plants

Posted on December 21, 2013 by Christine • 1 Comment

Way back in September I bought six strawberry plants. At the time they came in one punnet, so tiny were they. Given that I knew that I would be out of action from the garden for quite some time, I repotted those tiny strawberry plants into another pot – two to each one. I kept … Continue reading →
