It's quite a treck from Valencia! Next time I go there I'll get the telephone number for you, maybe they can post supplies to you. Saying that the vermouth is to die for!!

Hello from Las Alpujarras, Spain

Looks like Huckleberry which also looks like nightshade! I wouldn't risk eating the black berries!

Hello Dina Summer veg depends when your last frost date is and how warm and light you can keep your seedlings, I start my chillies and aubergines Dec-Jan and tomatoes in Feb in my heated greenhouse.
Veg like broad beans, lettuce, garlic, carrots, chard, kale can be in the ground now.

Where abouts are you? There's a great little wine making supplies shop in Cadiar which is 30 mins drive from where I live, they also sell homemade local wine and vermouth. They don't have a website.

We do a lot of sprouting, must say that green lentils are my favorite, they taste a bit like like raw peas, good luck with the sprouting

Thanks demi, never thought of adding them to canned tomato sauce, doh!

Has anyone got any ideas about how to preserve them sliced in jars without pickling (too much pickle in our house!)

Calla lilies are great as cut flowers, last a long time too, you can get different colours other than white. I would also go for dahlias, easy to grow with lots of flowers to cut.

In Paella!

Perfect for us!!!! we have around 90 orange trees! thanks

Stunning build, love the stairs and the skylight too, well done!

hello from the not too far away Las Alpujarras. I have a few friends with cave houses too!

The other half make us a chestnut loaf for our Christmas dinner, we make sure we gather enough chestnuts this time of year to do us over Christmas.

A neighbour brought some round today, it's got a really nice taste, really good for you too, so I'm going to give it a go.
