6 Months ago I tried a new cheese recipe. Sage Derby Cheese with Jersey Cow’s Milk. A very creamy texture and delicious. My greatest worry was that contamination might occur due to using fresh sage, but a surprise to see all is good. I will have to try again and make some improvements, but all in all I’m happy.
Thanks to Leon and Elaine from www.cheesemaking.co.za for training me. I would definitely recommend their course. It gives you the confidence to experiment with new recipes. Cape Cheese Making

It took a while, but finally finished the pathway idea. The idea changed a bit as the bulbs I wanted to plant were in bloom and will have to wait for something else later. As this idea finished I figured out what I want to do with another spot in the garden.

I will never be able to become a landscaper as I need to feel the space. Figure out nature’s elements before planting. See if I’ll like it or not and then deviate from the plan if necessary.

What a spectacular sunset. Unfortunately we can’t see the ball go down anymore, but still beauty to find. Table Mountain and the rainbow both hazy.

We are trying to build a garden on a slope and with active dune mole-rats it stays a challenge. Hopefully someday it will work out. Bulbs are planted in containers to avoid being dragged underground. Stepping stones to make pathways through the garden.
Step by step we’ll get there.

Nidularium Ferrugineum was one of my very first bromeliads and still a favourite. When maturing it produces this beautiful red rosette in the centre. It doesn’t matter if it is in the shade, the colour will come.
We currently have limited stock of this bromeliad.

Come visit us on the farm. Remember to make an appointment.

We are situated on the Klein Dassenberg road off the N7 between Philadelphia and Malmesbury. Find us on Google Maps.

It is guava time. Last year the two guava trees that were here had no leaves and dry. I thought we would loose them. This year with a little TLC they are producing enough for us and the birds.

The last sweetcorn of the season is coming off. One row harvested and frozen. Two more rows to go.
I think we’ll be good with sweetcorn until the next season.
I sometimes think to live off the field is actually perfect. You have i.e. an abundance of peaches or sweetcorn and had enough after the season. You don’t feel like more until the next season.
