Cazaux's Food Factory: June 2009
http://leighallotos.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Monday, 8 June 2009. Onion Harvest and Navarin D'agneau. My parents are also on their UK tour, currently performing child-minding and the likes around our house for several days so we went to the Science Museum in Kensington, lunch in Belgos and Hamleys on Saturday and Bowling on Sunday. Quite a weekend and as much as I love my lotty, it was a great couple of days out and a pleasant change from the norm. So what do you do with all these spring vegetables I wondered. Well my mother in law had the perf...

Cazaux's Food Factory: March 2010
http://leighallotos.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 10 March 2010. Just a little longer. Let’s not forget winter still holds the upper hand and is only very slowly beginning to show signs of releasing her grip allowing spring to break through. Heavy ground frosts continue to check the growth of my purple sprouting broccoli. Icy Rain and winds have delayed the growth of spring bulbs and fruit buds. Everything will be later than last year, but surely it’s better to grow under the correct conditions than to plant now whilst winter remains do...

Tuesday, 24 March 2009. Peggy suggested that I should post some pictures. I agreed it was about time I remembered to take the camera. So heres a few snaps from this afternoons bolt up to the plot to pick up my seed box. Http:/ picasaweb.google.com/CazauxFood/March2009CazauxTime. Its all a bit brown on the plot - I'm sooo looking forward to seeing my scratch of a patch become an oasis of green. Posted by The Mulch. Links to this post. Nature sticks it to my Food factory. Thankfully the leeks were ok; they...

Cazaux's Food Factory: December 2009
http://leighallotos.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, 24 December 2009. Where do you begin when you have left it so long? That uncomfortable feeling you get when you have left a promised call, email or letter in the back of your mind longer than was socially acceptable and the embarrassment/uncomfortable feeling you have which stops you from picking up the pieces and saying I’m sorry. With that I wish you good health and a bountiful 2010. One life, make it count! Posted by The Mulch. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Read about my at...

Cazaux's Food Factory: April Attire
http://leighallotos.blogspot.com/2010/04/april-attire.html
Wednesday, 7 April 2010. Whoohoo. We are finally getting regular double digit days. How many of you were becoming so desperate for spring that you contemplated sitting in your car, revving the engine thus releasing a couple of kilos of dirty-dirty carbon into the air whilst eating de-foresting McDonalds and drinking bottled water from a far flung corner of the Alps? Well I thought about it! Then the very next day I look out of the window to beautiful blue skies so put on only a thin top and cotton trouse...

Cazaux's Food Factory: Rabbit food
http://leighallotos.blogspot.com/2010/04/rabbit-food.html
Friday, 30 April 2010. First crops of the 2010 season are ready for the picking. Back in late March I made my first sowing of radish French breakfast. These were covered under fleece along with a disastrous carrot sowing; I think I have five carrots showing from two small rows. (Old seed and crap weather) and a very successful Salsify sowing (also old seed but these all germinated - go figure! How to eat them? Goes down a treat with a pint of Abbots ale. So the humble radish - nothing to get ecstatic abo...

Cazaux's Food Factory: Mid April
http://leighallotos.blogspot.com/2010/04/mid-april.html
Thursday, 15 April 2010. One of the strawberry plants has flowered - these are now in their third year and look a picture of health so I don’t think I will change them unless they begin to reduce their yields. They have been getting regular bucketfuls of the noxious smelling tea made from all the weeds I have been digging up. Posted by The Mulch. Hi from Cazaux's Food Factory,. Hope you enjoyed the post, feel free to say hi, laugh at my ramblings, ask a question etc. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Cazaux's Food Factory: Farmer Hoofs
http://leighallotos.blogspot.com/2010/04/farmer-hoofs.html
Monday, 19 April 2010. Check out this farmers hoof. Back to work with scraped knuckles and perma-dirt under the nails and skin. I washed these for ten minutes last night and again when I showered this morning. One of the plus sides of the sitting around watching tele or the go down the pub gang is that they do have lovely hands. Mine were too - but now they are f@'ked and I think I may have a bit of arthritis developing on the index knuckle. Posted by The Mulch. Hi from Cazaux's Food Factory,.

Wednesday, 22 April 2009. Im back from holidays in Mexico - Its been a couple of weeks - Time for a post. Growing the humble Cauliflower it’s kind of like going to war as a Spartan. Death or Glory. Actually is nothing like that at all as Cauliflowers can't throw spears and don’t look menacing enough to be considered a warrior race. But in essence - You either fail miserably or glory in your marvellous achievements’. Then as the frosts rescinded, the surviving brood have had treats of blood and bone meal,...
