Mind you, for me that always meant my Nan's raspberry jam, and I still remember opening and eating the very last jar ever, about two years after she died. I still harbour dreams of growing enough raspberries to make my own, which will start me on a life-long quest to make jam as good as hers was. Nice job on the preserving front, and I'm glad I am not the only one to have scruffily labelled jars of loveliness. It is the insides that matter, after all...Janet/Plantaliscioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15605580157193047780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3810916424535818779.post-52330820781118529652011-10-11T19:19:04.662+01:002011-10-11T19:19:04.662+01:00What another excellent film and song!

It's a quandary isn't it, insane weather, ridiculus long days in summer of 23 hours (here) of light.........in summer. It's interesting. We don't have the range of hot to cold, a balmy average of 10 degrees all year around, hardly get a cold snap, although we have the past few winters...... Chilli jam is very lovely I can post a recipe but it's mainly guess work!Fay McKenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14573998704716650377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3810916424535818779.post-40407610927855814202011-10-10T20:43:37.222+01:002011-10-10T20:43:37.222+01:00Not a follower, but I've had you subscribed in...Not a follower, but I've had you subscribed in my reader for a while now ;~)Diana Studerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12286066768376135880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3810916424535818779.post-36192178441064569582011-10-10T15:16:33.535+01:002011-10-10T15:16:33.535+01:00Cant wait till you get yer poly tunnel erected esp...Cant wait till you get yer poly tunnel erected especially if its gan tae gae mair talk oh jammie pieces.Alistairhttp://www.aberdeengardening.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3810916424535818779.post-581635742059679032011-10-10T12:05:31.365+01:002011-10-10T12:05:31.365+01:00All sounds most tempting, I'd say.

I'm really rather chuffed! The polytunnel will be interesting to follow. When we were up in the frozen North of Sweden, we had a greenhouse. It was strange to see the way some things did really well in it while others barely survived. We put it down to the 23.5 hours of daylight in summer and the strangeness of the lighting conditions which presumably had an effect on growing. Also the severe winters didn't give us much opportunity then......not much survives minus 40 temps! Although, like you, berries and some fruits managed to thrive!yeractualhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13711767368876221729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3810916424535818779.post-15023654112822047972011-10-10T12:02:10.591+01:002011-10-10T12:02:10.591+01:00Nom Nom Nom, lots of jars of home made jams lined ...Nom Nom Nom, lots of jars of home made jams lined up in the cupboard makes you feel lovely, especially when it's made with your own or foraged fruits :) I made elderberry and apple jam last week and it's delish :)dreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15569512066931951883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3810916424535818779.post-7152054056808444862011-10-10T10:12:50.774+01:002011-10-10T10:12:50.774+01:00Hooray for jam!
