Hello and happy new year 2010!
Apologies for no posts for such a long time, but we are hoping to get onto the allotment once the snow goes so we can get growing for the summer!
I have found many new recipes over the last few months and will be posting them on here soon, so keep checking regularly for updates.
We have just returned from a weeks holiday to Dumfries and Galloway and found a fantastic farm shop – loch arthur creamery, check out their website from my links page. More…
Since it is our first attempt at growing tomatoes they had taken full advantage of our poor knowledge and had taken over the greenhouse! More…
Well we have finally harvested the onions we planted all those months ago and are quite impressed by the size of some of them!

I have just returned from the plot and it really struck me how much it has changed since we first went to look at it before taking it on. It was widely over grown and unmanagable. More…
At last we have finally been able to harvest our first crop. We picked our first lettuce leaves last week and I last night I turned out 2 of the containers for the potatoes and found some lovely spuds! Nothing beats the lovely taste of freshly picked leaves or the earthy smell of the potatoes, and so rewarding to know that the effort we have put in hasn’t been wasted!
Very small seedlings!
Well the fruits of our labour literally are coming true now, as we start to see all our seeds growing and turing into proper plants! Its very exciting to see how such a small seed can grow into something so big that we can eventually eat! More…
I have just received my free seeds from the bbc dig in website. Can’t wait to get out and sow some squash seeds! Check out their website by going to http://www.bbc.co.uk/digin/ for great tips on how to grow your own veg.
This is a recipe that is cooked in a traditional Moroccan tagine, however if you don’t have one of these you can easily cook it on the hob in a large pan instead of transferring to the oven.
Welcome to Gorsey Cottage Kitchen! I hope to add some posts soon.
