Katie Bedlow left a comment for Trish le Gal"Hi Trish! Thanks for the comment, I must admit despite there only being one of them, the pear was very tasty, and as i've found out, it was a tricky year for them this year! The swedes weren't exactly cosmetic perfection BUT hey, still go…"

Trish le Gal replied to Andrew Goodall's discussion Hello in the group East Anglian Veg Gardeners"Hi Andrew
I think our allotment site must be Wells' best kept secret. We are not the West end site (on the way to the hospital) but the opposite end of town. Down the East end of Northfield Lane. If you take the coast road towards Cromer and…"

I've grown purple ukranian tomatoes for about 5 years now and found them to yield very well in spite of being very tall willowy plants that look like they are wilting. I think I water them well and the number and size of the fruits…"

I love beans
Posted on August 19, 2010 at 8:56 11 Comments 0 Likes
I love the fact that a crop that will glut in the summer can be used much later and you don't have to do anything apart from lay them out to dry and stop them from going mouldy. We eat them in salads, stews with other veg or meat, and pureed with garlic, lemon juice, olive oil and herbs as a dip. I sow my dwarf french for drying in early May under cover and plant out late May/early June where I am on the North Norfolk coast.

Hi Trish I am sending you a gift as I found a recipe for tomatillo salsa on your site and it is lovely- very good with rice and lentils!

- Hi Trish
Thank you for your comments. I planted my radicchio mid-Aug, a bit late I thought, but they have grown and grown. One variety in particular are huge. Going to try forcing some of the varieties, haven't tried that before so we'll see how it goes.

- Hi Trish
Can't take the credit for the topiary owl. I took the photo in Greenbank Gardens Glasgow. Another topiary they had was a caterpillar made up of different sized box balls, I think I might manage that.

Louisa @ The Really Good Life said… Hi Trish,
Thanks for the comment - I think I overestimated my reading time too. I sorted out my seeds yesterday and my "to sow in January" and "to sow in February" piles are enormous! It'll all be off and racing again soon - can't wait ;)
