Quince experiment

I have many quinces still on the tree

There was so much fruit this year a branch broke.

I have never cooked them to eat, but I have enjoyed many years of quice jelly

made by mother inlaw, Patsy M

Natures own bee less honey..yum

This year I want to be able to talk with my market customers

 about coking them.

Customers have raved about roasted quice being delicious,

so that will be on the menu this week too.

Husband put a recipie book in front of me this morning and suggested

Chocolate quince tart.

He even bought a tart pan

so I guess he is already tasting this in in his imagination.

I am not the cook in this house so it is quite the challenge

especially on such a glorious winters day.....

only a few clouds in the sky and 16 degrees C

                                           I think the scarecrow could do with a new out fit it,

looks like his arms have dropped.

With the sun so low on the horizon there is much shade in the garden.

Just one week to go before the shortest day of the year

then the sun begins it's climb back in the sky.

I have to show you my favourite weed....

its a salvia that self seeds every where.

I call it "Rogue red"

I think if you must have weeds, they should be beautiful, and easy to pull out.

This one easily meets that criteria

Michaal's bees love this one, as do I
