Cucumber Relish Batch 2.


As some of the cucumber plants appear to have mosaic virus, this afternoon we chopped up eighteen cucumbers that we had removed from the plants yesterday, tomorrow we will make a second batch of cucumber relish. In the process of chopping the cucumbers I managed to chop a piece out of my thumb! it bled like crazy but has been stopped a while now. Also chopped up peppers, green, red and yellow as well as onions as the recipe stated, leaving this mixture overnight.
Another day of heavy showers and sunny periods, went to the woods did a quick search for mushrooms to no avail, hoping to go to Glen Begg tomorrow to try and find some there. Ruaridh had some good treks in the forest especially whilst we waited for a heavy shower to pass.
Had a shower and washed my hair, porridge followed by toast for breakfast.
Layla and Joe are working hard on their flat so that they can rent it out, Bella has been a wee star whilst they have been working, she really is a cutiepie!
Placed the green netting over the leeks as the rabbits appear to be chomping them every night, hope it works.
Risotto frittata, roast potatoes and broad beans for dinner lovely.
Done a little knitting, watched the movie "Downfall" on DVD now to bed. Goodnight
