Hi all,
Still too wet (and cold for me!) to do much in the garden or on the plot so I’ve been cooking and buying more seeds. Oh, and I received the show schedule for the Slimbridge Gardening Club spring show so a bit of planning to do!! If you are local then have a look at the SGC website and why not consider joining?
Here’s a link to our website: http://www.slimbridgegc.plus.com/index.htm

As usual, I have bought too many seeds from too many varieties to grow so I’ll do what I can and give the rest away. There is a “Please help yourself” bench on the allotment so I’ll leave some of the excess there plus this year I am seeking out worthy causes that may need my excess.

I’m having a go at growing Yacon this year – pretty easy apparently. Yacon – probably easier for you to Google it than for me to explain what it is or tastes like. All Ive done so far is to put my 5 growing tips into pots with compost just to stop them drying out. I’ll keep you updated on them as they grow.

COOKING
When I say been busy cooking, I have been making quite a few soups – both with my soup maker and on the stove top. I love homemade soup, you may have guessed.

Anyway, the only bit of recording I did for the cooking side of life was my killer Lemon Curd. If you try it I hope you like it!
