This planting is really an experiment to see if I can get anything by Christmas.<BR/><BR/>Susan, yes, Saint-Aignan is in the Berry. Noyers-sur-Cher, across the river, is in the Sologne, which is part of the Orléanais, evidently. And our village, Mareuil, is in Touraine. That's what local people have told me.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-15864160562424794142008-09-30T14:02:00.000+02:002008-09-30T14:02:00.000+02:00Ah...I hadn't realised that St-Aignan is culturall...Ah...I hadn't realised that St-Aignan is culturally/geographically in Berry. I have a bag of Berichon lentils awaiting me getting a guinea fowl to cook with them.<BR/><BR/>There is a good Volailles stall at the Richelieu market too. We've had their very good sausages - you are right that they make a great alternative. The local customers were very happy to tell me that the sausages were a good choice when I bought them, which made the whole experience very friendly and amusing.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06472449597146519943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-91757388051208502262008-09-30T13:18:00.000+02:002008-09-30T13:18:00.000+02:00Collards are one of the most nutritious things you...Collards are one of the most nutritious things you can eat, as I'm sure you know.
