Bob Flowerdew (pictured in his King Tubby type vest) said a great thing on a recent Gardeners Question Time. The quote was along the lines of “Hoe when there are no weeds and there won’t be any weeds”. Bonkers, sound like what they’d say in Taiji but what he is saying is very true. Big up Bob (and his King Tubby’s vest)!
Handmade plant label made out of a long plastic spoon from my short-lived wine making days. I was getting sick of wasting time collecting fruit to put in a bucket, straining the stuff, bottling it and the year or so’s wait just to get a load of vinegar tasting liquid that would send you mad/or send you to bed with “the whirling pits” and feeling rough as anything the next day. Not good!
Big up to Paul W (the man who originally prompted me to write this blog!) who popped over yesterday and took a shine to this cabbage and even took a photo! To me this is an overwintered cabbage which didn’t go to seed like the other ones and I have just left it going for no particular reason. Any recipes for cabbage leaves like this and as this is nearly a year on, will those big leaves be bitter? Any ideas?
