I just love the smell of fresh lemons and limes.
At the moment we have so many on our tree's at home that we are picking every couple of days just to reduce the stress off the bending branches!
Look at this lot from today...
The citrus smell is devine...
A full washing basket collected today!!!
It won't be long and these lovely little babies will be ripe for the picking too...
Mmm....Mandarines!
Look at some of this fresh goodness!
After visiting this country girls blog
here I have been some what inspired!!!
Inspired to use my abundance of garden goodies in a way that will let me enjoy them year round.
You guessed it...Preserving!
Jodie is the preserving queen of blogland and she so needs to put her recipe's and tips into a book!!!
I already had a book called 'A year in a bottle' by Sally Wise that has some delicious recipe's for things like;
Lemon & lime cordial, lemon marmalade, homemade lemonade and mandarin jam!!!
I have also been considering getting some chickens...now for all of you that know me you know I have a bad case of
This!!!
I know, I know...I must be having a weak moment to even consider it, but we have a nice little Chook pen out back and I guess that if I could bribe my hubby to collect the eggs, feed them scraps and make sure they are comfortable then it shouldn't be a problem!
Should it???
