the best thing about a roast is…

chickens-150x150… the leftovers. Apart from the first meal, there’s enough meat to make lots of individual pies. Then there’s stock from the bones to make lurid green watercress soup or spicy winter leek and potato soup.

Here’s Rodriguez, the Rhode Island red rooster, and his wives. Mabel (the one black hen), as ever aloof, still sleeps up in a tree rather than with everyone else in the chook house. These won’t be roast dinners any time soon.

The very popular fresh food garden half-day organic vegetable gardening courses will run this year on Saturday 3 and 31 October 2009.
