I will update this post with my full review this week. I thought I would put this in place and let you have it very soon!
Sample image for you to get excited over! well, enjoy, I get excited seeing the full res version as its very good.
This week is yet another eventful week for me. I have the first of the beans, both dwaf and runner beans growing really well with one dwaf bean at least 7-8 inches long! beat that Sainsburys!
I have also got around 10 – 20 green bell peppers growing and three chillies which is really good as I thought they would never start growing. The greenhouse is doing really well and the contents is doing really well. The heat today might be too much but I have opened it a few times to let alot of it out and with the greenhouse next to the wall and our house should have plenty of shade to keep the temperature just right. This gallery is obviously very much like all my galleries so far with shots of the plants and of the produce that I have harvested today. But I have been using my shiny new Panasonic HDC-TM300 to shoot the pictures and they are really sweet. This is a camcorder but it is top dollar as it produces outstanding still images too, might not beat the better SLR’s but I think once you see the results you will agree its very good. It takes 10.6M pixel pictures with great color balance and the AI mode does all the hard work, for perfect balance the manual mode might prove better but the average photographer, ie, me, really wont need more than AI mode to keep the shots great.
Before I forget, I, by accident pulled out our first potato, it looked good, as for taste, well, will find out soon enough, tonight is a roast dinner but pot’s where already done so next time a new pot is needed its for the chop!
The cucumbers and tomatoes taste great. Not sure if I mentioned it before but they are awesome and really fresh, I hate tomatoes but the garden ones taste really nice. I don’t like the wateriness of tomatoes but these tom’s are perfect, really are. They are watery but they are so packed with flavor it makes up for it.
By the way, Image 15 is my favorite of all of them. The bee in the middle framed nicely by the surrounding flowers. Enjoy!
Me and Gemma have decided that we want to try out potted trees and get some apples, berries and lemon trees up and running. That is phase two of the good life plan and phase one is to make my own cider! at home I am going to have my own kit and make cider the good old fashioned way! myself. I will post up some images of my kit, the processes I take to brew my own and the mistakes and successes along the way so check back for that! will be interesting, if nice, Magners, Strongbow, Bulmers move over, Akass cider is on its way!
