We had an interesting discussion on October 7th 2021 about preserving our produce, which covered a range of topics from seed-saving to sauerkraut.
We’ve written up a summary on the various techniques people have been using, with references to other sources of information and advice in our record of the session.
Hover across the timeline bar at the bottom of the video to see the different ‘chapter’ markers where we discussed the various different techniques.
It might still be early days, but the wheels have started turning on plans for next year’s Potato Day!
We’ll again be taking bulk orders from whole allotment sites at a reduced cost – details below.
We’ll then open our online shop for personal orders for individual buyers in mid-January update: open now!
We hope to move back to a physical event as soon as we’re sure it’s safe and manageable, but for this year at least, we’ll keep it simple and go through our website.
It’s that time again! The days are getting longer and, if you can dodge the rain for long enough, you can start getting a head-start on your plot.
On 9 January, the bi-monthly GAF meeting had the topic of ‘Starting the Season – Rearing Your Own Plants‘. Some of our most experienced members shared tips and answered questions from newer plotholders in a discussion that was so spirited it had to be forcibly cut off to make time for the business meeting that followed!
For those of you who couldn’t make it along, we’ve packaged up a summary of the key points. Skip on to page 2 below to read them online, or grab yourself a copy to download and keep (and print for the inside of your shed door, perhaps…)
