Twisted carrots

There’s no particular reason for posting these photos of deformed carrots except for interest. Go on, mock my gardening failure!!

I have no idea why they grew this way, the soil isn’t stony, it wasn’t over manured and carrots in the adjacent row (a different variety) have grown long and straight. So, if you have any ideas, let me know. Otherwise just laugh at my disaster … it doesn’t happen very often!

How did they taste? Have you dared eat them?

I think they may be that way due to root-knot nematodes.

So many butterflies kept us company in the garden yesterday. The first was a Brimstone, fresh out of hibernation; followed by this beauty!

Blackthorn. Probably my favourite blossom - all that promise of sloes in the winter! It's one of our native trees and the early blossom is a vital nectar source for bees. When we bought our house, it was one of the first trees I planted, along with holly and elder.

There is blossom on the damson tree - spring has sprung!

Today's loaf is a rye / spelt sourdough. It's sweet, nutty and chewy. I used it to make cheese on toast for lunch - delicious. This is first time I've used @sharphampark 's rye/spelt blend and I'm really pleased. I used my own sourdough recipe (200g active starter, 300ml tepid water, 500g flour & a tsp salt). I don't knead, just fold it all together, leave for 24 hours then shape and bake. It's a bit denser than my usual spelt loaf, but not as heavy as a traditional rye loaf. #sourdough #realbread #sharphampark #bakingandmaking

Today I shall mostly be potting up cuttings... and maybe cleaning the windows...

Winning at sourdough today! Spelt loaf with a sprinkling of rye. This, slathered with butter and topped with a poached egg will be my supper tonight. Simple things make me happy! #bakingandmaking #sharphampark #breadmatters #realbread #homebaker #slowliving
