October - Update
23rd October 2009

I thought it was time I at least put something up on here.  I have been so busy over the past month that I rarely even get time to check my e-mails, let alone add anything new to the site.  This won’t be forever; I have lots of new wild foods I’m going to be adding, along with more tutorials.


Before I go on I would like to stress yet again, that I will add to the ‘how to make a catapult’ tutorial when I get time.  I get so many e-mails from readers about this particular article.  Don’t get me wrong, I do appreciate contact from the site, but I don’t appreciate mails from the minority who think its fine to be rude and pushy because it’s not yet finished.  I pay for the hosting of the site, the maintenance and the hours of work it takes to keep it going as a free resource for people, which in time will become a strong point of reference for bushcrafters and those wanting to learn about wild food, and nature in general.  So please be patient, I have a very busy schedule and will add to it when I find the time.


October is one of my very favourite months.  I love the traditions associated with it, and especially Halloween.  My sloe gin is looking good enough to drink already and I have a good 4lbs of sloes in the freezers should I wish to make anything else.  The tomatoes in the veg patch are still turning red; I must have had several hundred from one plant!  The butternut squashes are not doing too well, but as it’s still so warm they are growing fast!  My herbs which I have been growing for my autumnal cooking on the other hand have been destroyed by our new rescue dog, so I was a little annoyed about that, but nothing much I can do now.  I have a few left so will have to make do with those.


I would like to remind the readers that this question in game two (just for fun) http://naturessecretlarder.co.uk/test-your-knowledge/game-2-just-for-fun.htm has had many good attempts, but still no correct answer! So please feel free to give it a go.


That’s pretty much it for now, but I will add some stuff soon, some has already been written up, it’s just a case of finding time to get in on here, and take some pictures!


Catch you on the trail
Kris
