Well it was not that good! it had a funny after taste but I used ice cubes that might have made it taste funny or it just might need longer. I am going to give it a few weeks and retry before deciding if its ok or bin time! I have another type and another lot of this type to brew so I wont give up on cider yet. I think I might get the bottles outside clean and do some cider straight to bottles and do some beer and wine to stock up at the same time. The cider was really fizzy so that was really good. I think the cider is a scrumpy which might not be my thing! Will try and find some 100% juices to make fruit ciders with.

The cider tasted fine but had an after taste, I am going to let this stand for a while and do some more wine and then do another lot of cider in a few weeks.

In summary, tomatoes still going, cherry tom plants doing really well, loads of cucumbers, sweetcorn still going, potatoes are still going and much much more.

Todays harvest

Not a huge harvest this week but a nice little lot for this week. There are still plenty more fruit and veg to come so it wont be my last post.

I reckon that todays little lot would have been about £12 in the shops! so that with every thing else makes us break into profit! with more to come, plus all dead plants go in compostor and help me make compost for next years, 80 litres of compost to add to bounty.

Here is what I harvested:

todays potatoes harvest

These are the few potatoes we harvested today. I recon we have about another 5 harvests this size.
