August - 2014

July

The winner of the July "brrrrr"Lucky Box is Guy Williams I brought the lucky little box inside to take the photo beside the fire as it has been so bleak, windy, wet and cold. I hope the August Lucky Box can have a photo in the sun! My patch at Woodbridge has a small market garden in which I grow Rhubarb, being the principle ingredient of my Rhubarb and Ginger Chutney and my Rhubarb Jam. I grow rhubarb because I can, actually, anyone can!!! It is a totally forgiving plant and

Salamanca Market

Saturdays are particularly frosty, departing from Woodbridge at 6pm, to set up at Salamanca Market Amazingly enough, we trade rain, hail or shine and have managed to do so for the past 7 years, with only 2 days closing early. So, see you at Salamanca. Site 221, opposite Salamanca Fresh Market which is adjacent to Knopwoods Pub, which is on the corner of Montpellier Place and Salamanca Place. See you there!!!

November. Introducing a new team member.

Her name is Whooppee the Wonder Worker

She slices, grates and purees

Which is just as well as my right arm is in plaster - just a little glitch with the ride on mower!

Here she is all dressed up for work.

Here she is helping me slice the rhubarb.

I also have Bill, Sophie, Ella and Rachael to thank for lending me a hand - which gave me 9 hands in total.

It is also good to keep in touch with past 'helping hands' from HelpX and Workaway who have assisted with such a huge range of skills.

I was particularly happy to hear from Thomas who set up this website for me. Hi Thomas.
