A big big day #2

Yup it’s such a big day we have to post twice 
The small orchard is now planted out and mulched 



The Greek spinach pies are done ready to eat 



The beetroot is canned. It will be ready in a few weeks 



We had a problem with the beetroot. I’ve haven’t had it before but the bulbs had little hairs, like they were trying to grow roots. 
And not just the big ones. Some of the smaller were the same

If you look closely you will see them. 
I ended up not using those  so I threw away a heap. 
I’d rather quality than quantity 



And the second garden out front is done 



We are both exhausted 
But it’s all done for now. Apparently we are in for storms so 
The rains will be great 

I think a hot bath , dinner and a glass of wine for me

    1. It’s raining here now. Not heavy. Just a nice steady beat. It’s actually exactly what we need. Just not too much

  3. Canning beetroot sounds good to me. I am sure they will taste very nice.

  4. You did well to throw those beetroot with hairs. They'll be woody and just not nice to eat. We get some like that now and again, don't know why.
    The spinach pies look great, specially that pastry.

      It’s so much easier and not mess. Plus Jamie Oliver said it was ok lol
