Frank & Kastaniegaarden

The old shed trailer must have a new home, and this gives Frank new opportunities and a much better view from the Kastaniegaarden. Beetroot must be harvested before the frost, but the yield is unfortunately pitiful - on the other hand, the sweet potatoes are huge.

Frank has lost his favorite anorak, and after breath-testing new canvas fabric, the Singer sewing machine goes to work making a new anorak. During the annual cleaning of the spiked stones, a strange trench appears and Frank can't figure out what it was used for.Archaeology and the anorak cart

To keep the rats away from the Hen House, it has to be lifted up on a point foundation, so jack and shovel come into use. Frank will try to make a fence according to English traditions and then he will go to Holland to get inspiration to improve the upcoming reed harvest.

The stork visits Kastaniegaarden every year, but it quickly flies away again, so Frank starts renovating the stork nest in the hope that the stork will stay just a little longer. Last year's harvest of Bramley apples is made into apple porridge and the mist banks are dug out to prepare for new horse manure.

Kastaniegaardens fremtidige karpedam skal tømmes for tudser og kartoffelhøsteren skal repareres inden årets kartoffelhøst. Og så mindes Frank ikke, at han har samlet så mange nødder sammen før.

Efter flere års pause beslutter Frank at fryseren skal fyldes med den flotte orange Havtorn og så har den eksotiske storfrugtede berberis overlevet Franks le og skal tørres. Og endelig er majsen plukkemoden, så Frank ifører sig sin nepalesiske kurv og går i gang med høsten.

Det er jul på Kastaniegaarden og Frank og hunden Kaysa hænger æbler på juletræerne for at fodre fuglene. Valnøddehøsten har været god, så Frank forsøger sig med at bage valnødde snurrer. Og så smeder Frank en olielampe med 8 væger for at skabe den helt rigtige julebelysning.
