The cabbage pulling happened today and I have managed to recover three exquisite little hearts (the smallest the size of a cricket ball, the other two slightly larger) which are now sitting on the counter about to become dinner (well, in a few more hours).
It was a gardener's lunch today too, with a stir fry of cabbage leaves and bacon. These were a strange looking 'weed' that on closer investigation turned out to be the regrowth on a cabbage stem I had left there after the neighbour's sheep ate the rest.
Tonight's dinner will be the hearts, cut in two and laid on a bed of bacon and apple slices with a bit of cider poured over the top, brought to the boil then left to cook in the heat of the cast iron pot. It might need a dash of cracked black pepper to give it an edge, but it sounds pretty good to me (I just made it up, lol).
Stunning weather, and now they are a more accustomed to their new spot the neighbour's dogs are less inclined to bark incessantly and Shadow is learning to ignore then when we are out in the yard. I will need to escort him on his runs down the back for a few more days, but it should (hopefully) work out OK. One of the less feral kids was there today and we are working on a mutual strategy which will hopefully work (and save the dogs the odd hiding too, as their approach is to give them a belting on the rare occasions they respond at all.
