Sally I'm sorry it's taken so long to reply...what a week! Much of my garlic has popped up today...precisely one week on...woohoo! Funny how there's no winning that argument about the veg...and turnips and swedes can definitely be a bit of a no-go zone. Try that one with the aubergines though...you just might win him over. Mx
Well I did plant the garlic before you as I was not so sure I would want to be outside in the freezing cold, as it turned out it did rain so that was a benefit. Unlike you we don’t have the space in our garden so the majority were planted in pots the remainder in our raised garden bed, so it will be a race to see which start sprouting first. We all seem to be having an issue with beetroot, for me it is to find some in the Supermarket (canned) so I think I will be reverting to buying fresh and cooking my own. Thank you for your recipe, I love eggplant but unfortunately it is not my husbands favourite, so I am always looking for a way to surprise him. A bit like with Swede, he says he doesn’t like it either, but there was a time I cooked it and he ate without complaint, the next time he said, you know I don’t like Swede, me, well you ate it the other night, him, no that was Pumpkin, me, No! It was Swede lol… thank you for another great read. You certainly are one for expansion in words. I try but still don’t seem to go past 4-5 minutes.
Thank you, Mickey for another great read. An inspirational start to my Saturday. Watching the morning light arrive and the garden appear through the darkness. Glad to hear also that you have areas that are “flopping” and beginning to fade - I worry that I am not getting to everything- though all shines in the golden autumn light - mess and all 😊Eventually…. Off to work for the morning, then to the garden this afternoon. Excited to be travelling to your garden next Wednesday- looking forward to meeting you. ☀️🐝🌹
