Make It Monday 21st August 2023

It's Monday again, that week goes so quickly.

Last week was mostly preserving.

I canned mince.

I canned carrots.

I canned potatoes.

I did get some cards started. 

We ate all our meals at home, tempting though it was a couple of times to go out to eat - even getting take-away felt too hard because there would still be dishes to clean up. In the end, I looked at the meal plan on the fridge, gave everyone a job to do and dinner (and the dishes) was done.

We ate silverbeet and cauliflower from the garden. I picked oranges from our trees. I picked rosemary and hung it to dry. 

Wayne dug out the compost heap and topped up two garden beds. Now we'll let them sit for a fortnight then they'll be ready to plant out.

I didn't get any sewing done. My hands weren't co-operating; I'm hoping this week I'll get my hour a day at the sewing machine. 

Another 6 quarts mince for the pantry

12 jars carrots ready to heat and eat (or just eat) for the pantry

Surprise volunteer potatoes we found in the garden!

7 quarts potato for the pantry

What did you make, bake, grow and sew last week?
