An excellent post here Lady Lizzie and a sure winner as far as I am concerned.
I really hope that many other Saffers will read this post.
On our side, we toughed the months out and simply continued with the feeding projects.
Many new unemployed adults also joined the queues, but by grace we managed to feed all.
Congrats on a great post here and Marian said that she will give it a go by mashing our large squash pumpkin leaves with potatoes.
Cheers and !BEER
Thank you my friend, I really admire how you continued with your feeding scheme through difficult times, but that's when it was needed most! Tell Marian to pick the young tips of the pumpkin plant & dice the leaves, stems and young pumpkins or flowers all up, add loads of butter and pepper, really is delicious and no bitter after taste like some spinach has.
Blessings to both of you:)
Thank you for the kind words here Lady Lizzie.
Marian puts the peels and the pips out in the garden for the Robins and the Thrushes to eat. Next thing that we know, is now we have a huge squash plant growing and carrots, beetroot and onions!
Have a look at nature's idea of a garden!
So now, the small area that I prepared at the back for a garden will be planted with broccoli, a few cauliflowers and some tomato plants.
All organic of course.
Blessings to you guys!
That's great my friend! Marian should try and find some of the young pumpkin tendrils, although this one seems intent on growing straight on. Mine had offshoots and that's where I usually pick it for cooking.
Good luck with the veggie garden, tastes so much better when it's fresh from the garden!
Thank you Lady Lizzie,
I see that there are some offshoots forming and we will be keeping an eye on them.
We will call it our Lizzie mix 😁
Blessings!
LOL, we had another small harvest of pumpkin tendrils to cook last night, it's so delicious! I think I'm going to grow me a big pumpkin patch just for them tendrils;);)
A good idea and we are also on the lookout for trendils now 🤣
We will gather them and keep them in the fridge until we have enough.
Blessings!
