Meal Plan Friday 14th August 2020

 Wow, what a week of weather we have had. We also had no storms here either. This week we are going to try and sort out school shoes this week. Last weeks meal plan went well but safe to say we do not like fried gnocchi.


Friday - Pinch of Nom meatball pizza. Make your own pizza for the boys.


Saturday - Hawian Chicken


Hawaiian chicken with mango and avocado slaw


Sunday - Toad in the hole


Monday - Mackeral Salad with homegrown beetroot and roasted potatoes. Tortellini for the boys.


Tuesday - Aubergine and Vegetable pasta bake. Cheesy pasta for the boys.


Wednesday - TexMex fried rice, roughly based on this idea. For us all.

Tex Mex Fried Rice

Thursday - Thai Quorn Noodles - This one I make up using coconut milk, Thai curry paste and lots of veggies. We all love this.

    The weather is crazy. Today we have rain, certainly different from last weeks sunshine. Good luck with the school shoe shopping.
    All of your meals sound so good. I love the sound of the Tex Mex Fried Rice x

    Never tried Pinch of Nom recipes sounds like I should though for something different. Gnocchi isn't for everyone I quite like it.

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 ...
