Harvest time
Posted: Saturday, 29 September 2007 |
Here in Vatersay the air is busy with the sound of tractors, cutting the grass for silage and crofts are also busy with the potatos also being picked. It was a good potato year by all accounts with everyone reporting nice big potatos and very tasty they are too. Of our own crop (my dads), the pentland dell, the record and the desiree were nice and big and smooth easy to peel . We had the sante tonight very tasty but not quite so big - and lots of them had strange knobbles on them too as did the kerrs pink, you know the one that falls apart in the pot(I'm not keen on that one I always forget to watch it and get left with skins) , anyway the conditions couldn't have been so good for them.
Maybe the lambs and calves will be the ones to get the benefit of the bounty if they can't be sold this Autumn what with the foot and mouth and blue tongue they'll have to be fed somehow .
Anyway thats enough of the agriculture amazing what a glass of wine can do, so oidhche mhath an drasd.
