September was gorgeous, the sun shined warmly without the intensity of previous months and it's been enjoyable to work in the garden and on the land. I have been sowing and planting out all the winter chinese leaf greens, carrots, onions, salad crops and winter black radish.Black radish is a wonderful vegetable they grow quite large and can also be cooked when all the heat will go out of them. Lovely in stir frys and stews.
We are sorting out the winter fire wood and selecting and cutting timber for some construction work that we have planned.

Bread oven base.
Like a few people seem to be doing at the moment, we are in the process of building an outside bread oven with an attached 3x1m work surface for preparing the dough and pizzas etc. It will be a great addition to our workshop area and fantastic to be able to continue to make bread during the summer months when it is just too hot to light the woodburning oven in the house.
In this picture you can see the base of the bread oven, under which we will have a space to store the wood. To the right of this is the preparation surface.

Still a little way to go...
