I love this time of year in the Highlands, it never gets completely dark. Our lighter evenings are such a blessing, and I really look forward to them … just sitting outside in the absolute quiet and watching the sky, is so peaceful …
It’s just gone midnight, here’s a quick peek of my view tonight … so pretty. 😌 #scotland #night #sky #midnight #nightsky #landscape #seasons #nature #outdoors #lifestyle #peaceful #peace #quiet #calm #dark #countryside #view #homestead #homesteading #rural #rurallife #smallholding #happiness #clouds #homesweethome #life #home #grateful #june #daylight Needing a light lunch, I popped out to the greenhouse to check on my radishes. After a quick look, I decided to pick some of them now and use the tender leaves in my salad. But I think I’ll wait for the others to develop a bit more, before harvesting the actual radish. Yummy and so versatile, I love that you can use the whole plant …
My kids love them too, as they grow so fast. You don’t have to wait to long to see results, harvest and then eat. Time for lunch I think … 😋🌱👍 #summer #harvest #healthyfood #food #salad #lunch #homesteading #homesteadkitchen #homestead #garden #gardening #greenhouse #radish #yummy #countrylife #countryliving #rural #rurallife #happiness #simpleliving #growyourown #outdoors #lifestyle #scotland #home #life #plants #fresh #green #plant It’s been so nice to potter around in the garden again and enjoy the warmth of the sun. With the lighter evenings, we’re able to work late and things are moving fast.
Our plants : leeks, lettuce, cabbage, tomatoes, peppers, green beans, broad beans, courgette, asparagus and pumpkins are all doing really well in the Polycrub … and the raised beds have been a godsend for my back. 🙏 We still have 3 or 4 more boxes to make for the Polycrub, and then we’ll move onto making boxes for the garden. Raised bed gardening is definitely my go to … 👍 🌱 Anyway, hope you’re having a good weekend too … 😊👋 #garden #gardening #fruit #vegetables #herbs #salad #homegrown #growyourown #growyourownfood #food #countrylife #countryliving #rural #rurallife #plant #plants #summer #scotland #homestead #homesteading #smallholding #adventure #home #life #outdoors #lifestyle #healthyfood #fresh #goodvibes #happy Our mint is doing great this year … we’ll use some to make fresh mint tea, and then dehydrate the rest to use over the winter. There may even be some homemade mint chocolate ice cream … just saying … Yum 😋

The landscape is
so green, the birds are singing, our chickens are laying well and the fruit trees are in full bloom. We've also been making good progress in the Polycrub, building boxes and filling them up. So much so, that I'm planning on popping our young plants in their beds today. I'm so excited I can hardly contain myself … 🌱 I love getting my hands in the dirt, it's my happy place, my peace. I'll share some pictures of our Polycrub progress tomorrow. In the meantime here's a quick through back to last Friday. We've recently celebrated another anniversary, and decided to take our kids out for breakfast. Our local café @bikeglenlivet is wonderful. The food is yummy and the staff are so friendly. Set amongst the trees it's so pretty and the views are spectacular. If your ever in the area, I'd definitely check it out. Oh well, out to the garden … 🪴😃 I hope you have a good day too … #landscape #scotland #outdoors #lifestyle #adventure #travel #homesteading #craft #family #handmade #design #gardening #garden #polycrub #greenhouse #summer #growyourown #food #home We’ve just arrived home after two long days away. Lots of driving and plenty of hustle and bustle … I’m so tired and so glad to be back. Now just sitting with a cup of coffee, and taking a moment to appreciate the beautiful, peaceful sunset that greeted us. 😊🌄

It’s a beautiful sunny day, and I woke up this morning to find my daughter about to bake some delicious strawberry scones. It makes me so happy that my children love to bake and cook as much as I do. They’ve grown up watching me prepare our food from scratch, with lots of yummy meals, but also some truly memorable failures. Now I get to watch them do the same … what more could a Mum ask for. 😋#bake #baking #homestead #happy #goodvibes #happyday #scones #strawberries #yummy #food #fromscratch #homemade #lunch #treat #scotland #countrylife #countryliving #homesteadkitchen #cooking #fruit #may #fridayvibes #teatime #yum #cakes #afternoontea #relax #happiness #summervibes #strawberry |
