    Keep trying plenty of nice land owners left just got to find them. I all ways feel a muppet going up to some strangers door you never what reception your going to get but on the whole even if its a no it tends to a polite one and I am all ways polite back. Hell of a privilege to be let on some ones land especially now a days. Took me 3 years on one spot to get permission as he had been chasing people off all the time. I used to call every season but he was all ways nice about it then last year said fine you carry on just text me when your about

    Mine have got that too gnipper same as you been dousing them with bucket of water when I get home and they bone dry all day. In hind site a good mulch according to google would be good option. Had a blight alert for my postcode anyway now Spuds are in the bag so good job they got in early Handy site this one http://www.blightwatch.co.uk/content/bw-Home.asp They text you for free to let you know when there is a Smith Period in your area

    unusual jam terry ive only done raspberry.blackcurrant,redcurrant is the cake homemade it looks good enough to eat. yea I made cake this morning easy recipe from here. Bit of butter and a cuppa http://www.accidentalsmallholder.net/food/recipes/fruit-tea-loaf/

    Well the marrow and ginger jam was big hit family was very dubious till they tasted it and I was. Can't see it getting a chance to mature . But tastes like a marmalade very nice Sweet corn cobs are starting to form down the plot too

    Think your right Allan looking at the pictures online and I remember buying some seed too. Been tea total few years so will skip the rum but I like the sound of the lamb mince. As a rule I cut them into rounds and stuff with beef mince and top with cheese and bread crumbs and bake. But spiced lamb sounds good
  9. terryd
    Lots of variations on it John but we basically get the cheapest bit of lamb possible a small bit of neck or some thing. Add what ever veg is available leeks, spuds and bit of cabbage some herbs and stock. The liquid is meant to be quite thin rather than soup like. Taste gets better the following day plus if you used a fatty bit of lamb you can skim fat off if your inclined Good description here better than I can explain http://www.celtnet.org.uk/recipes/cym/fetch-recipe.php?rid=cawl

    Baby leeks and cheese bake never occurred to me we started having them with roast dinner just cooked in butter and as you say cawl. Also leek and potato soup. I see you don't trim them Allan ? I planted two lots last year one trimmed top and bottom and the other untouched and the untouched ones ended double the size so that sealed that for me. Any one id this spud ? its a second early or main crop I lost the label and they did quite well so might try again next year. another two marrows today so I am going to try this jam recipe at weekend http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/

    Ebola

    terryd replied to paulus's topic in General Talk

    That would be the sensible thing to do and may be sooner than later we seem to think we can control any outbreak that arrives here why even bother taking the chance Exactly I would have thought first thing to do would be to lock the place down as much as possible. unless it was bird flu then that may have been a problem chuck bloody net over the place

    Few bags of peas tonight and I have courgettes coming out my ears. Only got two plants black beauty very impressed with them but I can only make so much chutney and carbonara The second early (greenshaft) peas have done really well compared to the earlies will be just doing them next year
  18. terryd
    Makes perfect sense I will keep that in mind for next year

    The aztec brocolli terry i have only read about it. Have you eaten any yet? Do you steam or boil it or cook it in any other way? Not tried it yet John but I bought the seeds from here and good bit of info too http://www.realseeds.co.uk/cookinggreens.html I like the fact it keeps it tecture should be interesting hoping to try some soon
  22. terryd
    Runner beans are producing now going to pop some round to my local farmer later keep him happy. main crop peas I think they were greenshaft aztec brocolli and beetroot I was going to yank these broadbeans but spotted some fresh stems coming up so we might get few more courgettes every couple of days now squash are looking promising for this year thought sweet corn had bolted lol but of course they are meant to flower kale looking good been crawling around under the netting today squishing the dam caterpillars

    These are the ones I grew. TBH I could not fault them. http://www.bejo-organic.com/uk/webshop-organic-seeds/assortment/ras.aspx?ProductID=PROD1608&GroupID=GROUP1248 Here is a RHS trials report on them 96% of the balstora stored by them were sound in Febuary of the next year. And a good yeild with them. http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=3&ved=0CCwQFjAC&url=http%3A%2F%2Fapps.rhs.org.uk%2Fplanttrials%2FTrialReports%2FOnion%2520globe%2520bulb%2520types%25201995.pdf&ei=3ivQU4HBCsbe7Aa26oCQDw&usg=AFQjCNFMvqiVnwBKMeTMqMf

    Thanks Allan I will look them up and try from seed next year. Love that cabin John could spend hours in there drinking tea and admiring the crops

    This years onion harvest sure some were bigger when I planted them not what I was hoping for but learnt a lot for me don't bother over wintering. Don't bother planting too early my mates went in late april and now they are bigger than tennis balls with big green tops. Oh and put pellets down cause slugs like them But should last a few months anyway
