" have been working with www.gardenroganic.org.uk as a volunteer to encourage more people to begin grow their own food. As our volunteering spring activities have been cancelled I have 3 unused introductory packs which include a packet of pea seeds and I don't want to see then go to waste. I will put them out at the end of our drive in T**** Road in carrier bags if anyone would like to pick them up on Saturday morning after 10 am. The packs says you could get a crop in 9 weeks so kids could get some results before getting back to school. For parents - I will pop a few sticks of freshly picked rhubarb as we have far too much to eat ourselves."
They soon disappeared. Though afterwards thinking about the loo roll crises I did wonder if the free Rhubarb could have been a mistake!
We've got lots more to come - I will continue to give this away freely.
Put some in freezer for next year for us but as we are still wading through last years frozen fruit I don't want to overdo it! However I have just found out how to roast rhubarb and now I have lots of ideas for different dishes using that. Its lovely. Do try it. Just put in a dish with golden sugar or honey, cover, bake for 15 mins. it is not as sloppy as stewed and fits in better with making desserts. Went great with a cheesecake made from a packet which is usually too sweet and cloying.
Have you got some garden goodies to share locally?
Just rhubarb which will be ready to pick soon. We may have more as the gardening season progresses. i.e. extra tomato plants, etc.
ReplyDeleteOur plan for 2020 had been to pull back a bit and not grow extra but that has been scuppered now. We are here, we can grow, so we probably will do a bit extra esp tomatoes!
DeleteOooo, roasted rhubarb sounds very interesting. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Absolutely nothing in the garden ready for eating, including rhubarb!
