Order to eat things

I am amazed at all this talk of wasting so much "Surplus" food, Doesn't anyone have friends, neighbours who wouls appreciate some "Eresh" fruit and veg, also one or 2 local OAP's, then there is freezing, salting and jam and chutney making. A lot of my problem at the moment is lack of time. I went to do a job on the allotment yesterday morning. I was distracted by something else that had to be done. Then I had to go elsewhere, and only got back by about 6. Then I got distracted by something else that was more urgent (raspberries had suddenly started cropping heavily and were starting to rot on the plant!). By the time it was getting dark enough for insects to start feasting on me (and I'd already had to phone home to tell Nick to feed the children, as it was after 7 and he never remembers if I'm not there to do it!) there was no time to do the job that I'd originally gone out to do. I have about 6 of those 'really urgent must be done today' jobs lined up now, and every time I go to do one, something else goes to the head of the urgent queue instead. If your courgets are to many then let some grow into marrows, when properly ripe they will last well into the winter. Which is a nice idea, but then they would never get eaten. :-) I always keep my best peas and beens on the plant to ripen for next years seed( on this subjuec I use a blue flower spray to mark the pods I am keeping so that they dont get picked by accident). Ooh, now that's a good idea. I've never seen such a thing before, where do you buy it from? |
