Cats and dogs and strawberries @ Pepper Plot

Cats are able to find any place to sleep - if there isn't any space they will make space especially Stompie :


Three in a row :


It is strawberry season here. We have this rule at Pepper Plot that we first eat our fill of strawberries and make all the jams and preserves that we require before we start selling strawberries. We used to supply strawberries to a few local supermarkets and greengrocers but their greed was too much as they expect us to supply vast quantities at minimalistic prices and then they charge an arm and a leg for it. We have decided that this is not the route to follow and now we rather sell it at below market price to locals. So from next week I think we will start selling strawberries - we sell 1kg unwashed freshly picked for R30 and punnets of 250g at R10 each ! 
 Strawberry and Port Jam :
 Fresh strawberries and mascarpone cheese - Deeevine !
And now to our latest addition - the terrible twins Boela and Lucy :  peaceful at last and a chance to take a photo that's not blurred - Geez I also know now how that feels Tracy
And here are the peppers - as can be seen they are healthy and growing nicely :

Yesterday we experienced a typical highveld storm - 3 mm rain and gale force winds that tried to remove the roof from our humble little abode :

So until next time - Keep well !

  1. The jam looks nyummy!

    Ja, you get used to taking pics either while toddlers are eating or sleeping.

    Good luck with those pups!
