Saturday Stitches

This time a top down pullover with saddle shoulders. This yarn was unbranded white charity shop 'wool' which I suspect is really a blend. It was put through the same dye batch as the yellow rhubarb dye in my own jumper and came out a yellowish beige.🫣 Synthetic fibres don't take natural dye at all well. At least its not optical white😎 Linking up with Yam Aunty's Saturday Stitches .

Lights

Tuna (long finned eel) cleverly projected onto the pavement - don't step on it! Weta (no English name that I know of) - normally about the size of an adult human hand - this one projected on a mossy embankment Kereru (NZ native wood pigeon) It's a bit cheeky posting lights for a Nature Friday post (and I have plenty of other nature candidates) but we went to a lights display at Pelorus Bridge/Te Hoiere* for Matariki two weeks ago and part of the event was a tour of the local program to protect the remaining local population of native long-tailed bats (pekapwka) and endeavour to restore them to a more healthy number. I have no photos of bats. They are tiny and elusive. Protecting them involves trapping out rats, stoats and possums so I was interested in their levels of success and whether there was anything we could learn to use in our efforts to trap and reduce introduced-predators here in the bay. NZ Conservation website photo Pekapeka - the New Zealand long-tailed bat *Over ...

Canterbury Plains

Asburton (population 21,000) is on the Canterbury Plains - vaste (by our standards) alluvial plains, created by and still being added to by the braided rivers that sweep down off the Soutgern Alps carrying rocks and silt, and the dust of countless dry nor'west winds. The wind blows in from the Tasman sea damp, moisture laden. It hits the western side of the mountains that form the backbone of our island (north/south, more or less the entire 500 miles), rises, cools, dumps its rain on the west coast and the mountain tops with just enough flowing down the east to feed the rivers and build the plains. Why no plains on the West Coast? I have no idea actually and should find out. They get the bulk of the water. On our side of the mountains the winds are dry and hot and, at the height of nor'wester season, howl day and night, whistling through power lines, burning vegetation, turning farmland to dust and generally driving the human inhabitants slighty loopy. These days the plains ...

Lime Pickle

With an excess of limes and a preference for eating curries there was no excuse really for not making lime pickle. Assembling the ingredients for fermented Hot Lime Pickle. The recipe I chose to follow required 2/3 cup of hot chilli powder. For 30 limes it seemed a little excessive but I liked the idea of minced fresh garlic and ginger.... ....so I compromised on chilli and added a range of other flavours suggested by a second recipe (fennel, nigella, cumin, methi, and curry leaves). The second photo is a bucket of 30 chopped up limes salted and releasing their juice into chilli, garlic, fresh ginger, curry leaves, hing and turmeric. They were later tempered with an oil/spice mix and shovelled into jars to sit in the sun and ferment for a while

Gooseberry Garden

Idea (in the July to-do list) Marked out Posts in and half-rounds attached to bring it all up to level; compost & compostibles chucked in there Horse poo Pea straw Just need to barrow in about 1.5 cubic metres of topsoil (from this pile)... ...and then I can plant out the 6 gooseberry bushes I split from the tangle my bro gave me (varities unknown), and the two blueberries I bought Mr B for his birthday. There will be room for one more - probably also a blueberry (a rabbit-eye; as the two we have are varieties of Northern Highbush). I've left the corner posts sticking up to support building a fruit cage.
