Happy What's on your workdesk Wednesday. So again, my desk is the kitchen, this is usually the way at this time of year with all the harvests from the allotments.
Tuesday evening I made cucumber pickles. I picked about 5 outdoor cucumbers this week so I defo needed to make something with them!
Considering I didn't have enough rhubarb this year to make jam or chutney, i was worried i wouldn't have enough to see me through the year, but, a late flurry of green tomatoes, courgettes and cucumbers means I do have a few made and hopefully I can make a few more over the next couple of weeks.
So, what are you making? Cooking, sewing, drawing etc?

Happy What's on your workdesk Wednesday. This week my desk is the kitchen! Yep, finally it's chutney making time.
My apple picker I made the other week didn't work, however, I stumbled across a chap in a tractor this week! Now, I often chat to strangers and he volunteered to use his tractor to reach the apples he spotted me eyeing up high in the tree!! Result!My outdoor tomatoes on the allotment I decided to pick a couple bags of them green. I doubt many will ripen now and there is blight on a couple plots down so I thought with all this rain to pick some whilst I can and kept in a paper bag at home they will slowly ripen too.
And these are the huge white courgettes on the plot!! This week I have picked 4 of these and 5 cucumbers too!! All my usual yellow and green courgettes failed this year but luckily this one plant flourished!
I don't actually recall sowing it!! I am guessing they were seeds in one of magazines and unusual for me I don't appear to have made a note of bit, but it's producing and that means 'harvest chutney' making sessions are now filling my time!!
So, what's on your workdesk?

Morning all, not tried a revised fruit picker (yet) as I had to do some quick repairs. My walking sandals, which, yes, I have had for probably about a decade, finally fell apart! I was walking and the soles flapped off!!
So, in true crafting fashion out came my glues and various clamps and I set about repairing them. I know they will fall apart again, but, if i can get through the summer then they can be replaced, when, hopefully end of season sales start!!
Also on my desk is the next pages of my 365 journal. Waiting for the spray paints to dry so I can cut up the daily squares and attach them.
My 'my bites dog' cards this week are 'feds judge cruel movie mob boss'......ooh not sure where to go with that one!!!
So, what's on your workdesk Wednesday?

Morning all, apologies but didn't make all the return visits last week, time just disappeared! So, this is the apple picker I tried making last week
I attached it to the end of the stick and went out to give it a try. However, now I know why people screw them to the sticks as it dislodged in the tree and I was left there poking the tree until the plastic bottle fell back down!
However, my desk last night was the kitchen as I picked loads of elderberry and made my next batch of elderberry vinegar, woke up this morning and there is a slight smell of vinegar around the house but it's so worth it as I LOVE this vinegar. It's like a victorian shrub, so can be added to drinks, salads or food (we use it in pasta, chilli, stews).
Hope you are all having a great week and kook forward to visiting and getting inspired.
