If you seriously want some rhubarb leaves, let me know...Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-70070244946128661452011-08-01T17:29:44.238+02:002011-08-01T17:29:44.238+02:00What a bountiful garden.

You are going to have bumper crops of everything, I think. Good luck with the collards!ginnynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-88800635268154271732011-08-01T16:10:44.229+02:002011-08-01T16:10:44.229+02:00Whew, what a lot of work but I know the results ar...Whew, what a lot of work but I know the results are worth the effort when we see your great photos and recipes of your delicious meals!BettyAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04888034865376007425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-73590594485468304772011-08-01T15:43:26.654+02:002011-08-01T15:43:26.654+02:00Ken, what are the greens like in jars?

We tried lacto-fermentation with some chard and some runner beans but were put off by the flavour.<br />Should you decide to 'can' some, could you please blog about your method?<br />Also, you can't spare a few rhubarb leaves could you? We've a terrible flea beetle problem and boiled rhubarb leaf makes a perfect deterent/killer. The ragondins ate ours and we are having to find somewhere else to plant the remaining bits.... so it will be a couple of years before we can make our own "Death to Flea Beetles".Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16439261142732764451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-29209061579667383252011-08-01T15:14:26.902+02:002011-08-01T15:14:26.902+02:00That sure is lots of work!

A woman I used to work with slow-cooked them with bacon (or ham hocks or something that gave that flavor), and they were so tasty. Others I've had were always too bland since tasting hers. <br /><br />I hope you've enjoyed your day :)<br /><br />JudySeine Judeet (Judith)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07407353544376132484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-43371152187771534542011-08-01T13:28:49.599+02:002011-08-01T13:28:49.599+02:00It' a busy time of year for the garden - and g...It' a busy time of year for the garden - and gardeners!!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726164724131916224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-66983752354353606202011-08-01T09:55:31.655+02:002011-08-01T09:55:31.655+02:00The garden looks incredible.
