The companion series to the Victorian Kitchen is of course the Victorian Kitchen Garden the second part of this great series which I will be blogging over the next little while. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

Peter Thoday gives us an insight into how the series began and the tools they used.

Victorian Kitchen: Luncheon

I think the best thing about these videos is that two of the presenters were actually in service and are talking about their own experiences. I suspect that today to find anything remotely similar you would have to get access to one of the Queens palaces.

Ruth Mott and Peter Thoday along with Harry Dodson show us what the Victorian used to eat for their lunch.

Pain de Campagne in the Dutch Oven

A detailed look at my method for producing a French Country Style loaf, Pain de Campagne, using the Dutch Oven to bake it much like the No Knead Bread method with a few differences and adjustments to insure that the heavier loaf gets the same oven spring that is achieved with the no knead method.

Free on the range.

Back to bare ground here and the girls are still enjoying their little treats in the fallen leaves. Getting colder everyday though, minus 5 this morning.

Early December Hoop House and Garden

Hard to believe but it is early December and I'm still working in the garden and things are still growing in the hoop house.

Bird Table Timelapse

A shot collection of ten second video clips taken with my plant cam time-lapse camera set-up at my bird table. There aren't any bird songs because the plant cam doesn't record sound.

Hoop House Survives Minus Six Degrees

The hoop house has survived minus 6 degree temperature and continues to grow. A look around at some of the shrubs in my garden that have fruit this time of year for the local wildlife.

Way too early.......

I know it looks nice but I hate it and November is way too early for this. The forecast has it warming up again over the next few days so hopefully it will all melt.

The Ladies in the Snow

Our first snow that accumulated on the ground so I had to go out to the coop and consult the ladies to see what they thought about it. Also a look at the snow on the Hoop House.
