Last call for artichokes ...
 
Last chance, if anyone wants any jerusalem artichokes to plant, give me a
yell, otherwise they're going on eBay.

Scrub them and liquidise with some stock.

Simmer for ten minutes.

Enjoy.

I'd like to try again but last time the badgers demolished and scoffed
the lot.
Have you grown Oca?

No, see, I'm well aware of the fact that I don't like them.
I don't want them. I want them to stop bloody growing!!

Please send me your badgers!

Nick did that last year. Very disappointing crop, and the ones we got were
.... awkward to cook (due to being small and knobbly). He quite liked them
and is planning on doing them again this year, but if it was up to me I
wouldn't bother.

Found it and replied now. Apologies to anyone who replied to my posting
address not my reply-to address, I often just delete it all as spam. :-/

Dunno - has it got another name?

Send address if you want some artichokes - I could fill a compost sack
with what I have still in the ground.

Remove 'foobar' for working emu

How odd. I definitely replied.
If you send me your address by tomorrow lunchtime (when I'm planning on
being organised enough to post) I'll pop some in the post to you.

Just a thought. If you have a local greengrocer, ask him if he would like
to buy some to sell as local produce.
It's worth a chance!
Seriously, they do make big money in supermarkets for a few tubers and it
seems a pity that you cannot find a market for them.

P.S. I haven't eaten mine yet but as it's the weekend I'm going to give
them a go.

Our local greengrocer shut down last year (after being open less than a
month). There is a florist who sells 'local' stuff, but they already have a
supplier.

It's not a huge problem, I don't have enough of them to cause a massive
problem. I just don't like anything to go to waste, even if I've been
trying to discourage them. :-)
