In the greenhouse bed, the romanesco cauliflower bolted so I hacked it to the ground, leaving the roots to avoid disturbing the carrots that might come out next week or so. It has immediately re-sprouted. Hard to say no in the face of such persistence! #greenhouse #estufa #garden #horta #gardening #raisedbed #growityourself

Partridge sold separately; pear tree in bloom. Last year they were very poor. Any advice on what to do to help them fruit well? The strawberries mostly survived my neglect. Six pots in the greenhouse and only a few plants still struggling. If I'm lucky the slugs won't find them on the potting shelves. If not, I'll need to make hangers. #bloomscrolling #gardening #horta #porto #growityourself

Wisteria is in exuberant bloom and still on the old, falling over trellis. All six sunflowers seem well after transplanting if a bit of yellow in their leaves. Peas and beans are getting ready for strings to climb. The three potato beds are at different stages despite similar conditions but all look good, with wispy onions coming up down the middle. Garlic has recovered after I yoinked the fungus, which so far has not returned. Not pictured, the greenhouse is doing well too, and I finished the March direct sow planting today. Pixelfed is having some issues but the plants keep right on. I hope you had a great weekend wherever you are. #growityourself #garden #gardening #bloomscrolling #horta #jardim #porto

Today in the #greenhouse: strawberries are bouncing back from my neglect. For both the snapdragons and the carnations, I must have dropped some of the tiny seeds outside the grow bags, as well as some potting mix, so I have some volunteers to prick out. #estufa #jardim #porto #gardening #garden #growityourself

Big day for the #raisedBeds. I made #diy bamboo frames and completed planting everything in the shown February plan (h/t growVeg) except for under the archway. I need to rethink that space because I may not have killed all of the chu chu I was given in October, so how does everything fit now? My 18 potatoes are planted--I think the remaining 82 can go to the neighbors with chickens and a rooster. Previously planted, garlic is coming up! Nothing from the previously sown carrots & greens yet. It should be a good Spring.

I’ve always thought there should be a recipe book called “Glut”
Just full of recipes calling for 1kg of a specific ingredient and sorted by ingredient.
For when you have ridiculous amounts of one ingredient and need recipes to cope.
Like Apple pie for apples.
Something that’s not just jam.
Would need a UK veg & soft fruit edition.
