Meal Plan Friday 20th March 2020

The whole world is still very crazy at the moment and now the kids are at home and we have to be very careful with our eldest who is a type 1 diabetic. We have mums who need to be asked a lot if they have enough food and what food they have it is really rather stressful times for us all.

I am still being careful with what we buy and trying to not buy too much, though with the kids being at home this is going to be hard. We did this weekend buy a pasta machine, with all this pasta shortage we thought it was a new skill we could learn and I managed to get some flour delivered in the shop.

As the boys are not at school I will be getting them to do more with the cooking and meal preparation. I think its a good opportunity to allow them to have skills they may not have done at school. We have also been starting off our seeds for this years GYO. The chickens are laying eggs who knew how vital they would have become though my amazing farm shop has lots, all our meals mid week we can get what we need from the farm shop and can change and alter as needed.

Friday - Smoked mackerel salad with beetroots and roasted potatoes

Saturday - Chicken burgers with chips and salad

Sunday - Charlie Bighmas meal for mothers day

Monday - Chicken and mushroom pie now this is going to be quorn strips as I could not get any chicken. I am using some condensed soup for the sauce. With a puff pastry top. A made up meal.

Tuesday - Cheese and ham Croquettes this looked lovely and trying to find more potato based meals. Found this online and the whole website has some brilliant ideas.

 Ham cheese potato croquettes

 Wednesday - Meatballs and home made spaghetti 

 Thursday - Gammon, Egg and Chips

    Ahh! I am on with thinking I should try to make our own Pasta. I am just watching them make it on This Morning.
    Our farm shop is keeping us in fresh fruit and veg too. It's been a life saver.
    Great meal plan. I love the sound of the chicken & mushroom pie. x

    The chicken and mushroom pie sounds great - I just made a dish that sounded very strange but turned out lovely, using soup with chicken (and lots of other bits) then topped with crisps. Tasted better than it sounds ! Good luck with the homemade pasta :)

Planting LolliPop Trees Elaeagnus ebbingei

I can not believe the day had finally arrived, the trees we had put so much thought into were going to be planted. We had the conifer and last shrubs removed and the whole area dug over and ready for the arrival of the LolliPop Trees Elaeagnus ebbingei. Finding Elaeagnus Ebbingei Area cleared and ready for the trees I was on the school run when they arrived. I walked round into the back garden to see five of the most beautiful trees in huge pots ready to be planted. Mr MC&W had chatted to the team that the trees need to be the same height despite there being a slight slope. Elaeagnus ebbingei all ready to be planted It was great to see the tape measure out checking the spacing between each one, as this was such a crucial part of the design. I can not believe how fast they got the first tree in and how polite they were when we suddenly realised it was overhanging the neighbours' boundary. They brought it forward no questions. First Elaeag...

Pleached Trees - Higher Privacy Solution

As you are aware we have had the new fence put in and are trying to find some ways to gain some privacy back, the new garden fence . Today I took the boys on a trip to one of my favourite places to look at trees and plants. English Woodlands located at Cross in Hand, East Sussex. We brought our laurel plants from them about 4 years ago, they were extremely good plants healthy, strong and have since flourished. As a nursery, they helped us choose what we needed and even told us to buy smaller ones as they would grow so fast, saving us money. I have been looking online and wondered if pleached trees maybe an answer to our height issue. What they should do is bring height to the fence but still allow light in. Now these are by no means a cheap and as always I am not sure if Mr MC&W is going to like them. So what is a pleached tree you ask?, to be honest, I only found out when frantically on google looking for  solutions for the new fence. A pleached tree is where som...

Bulb Rescue

Plants amaze me all the time, this morning I was tidying up and found a upturned pot. Under the pot I found bulbs that had fallen out but had started to grow leaves. They had no soil and still, these plucky little bulbs were wanting to grow. No soil and abandoned  Growing with no soil So I have attempted a rescue mission using things I could quickly find. I found a little old terracotta pot and some stones. Old Pot Few stones I had no compost (shocking I know) but I did have a huge molehill, so I grabbed some soil from that and filled the pot just over half full. The only worry I have is that our soil is clay and not sure how it wil work in a pot.will  Huge Molehill Some soil added Then I put the saved bulbs into the pot, they were not easy to arrange, so they have a kind of haphazard look about them. I then covered them with more soil and gave them a good water. Bulbs put into the pot Soil added  I am not sure if they will ...
