hey steve I tried the rhubarb today my god defo do it this way again maybe put sponge on it next time, had ice cream with it the flavours blended so well thanks for tip
oh what a shame and the weather been lovely, hope you get it fixed nothing to series I hope.... my car going in next week for mot that will be fun; I have to drive other car that day Nissan arnt happy as it normally goes to them but what heck it there the following week for its service , I wonder if they,l let me have the x-trail again they did last time that was fun just loved it didn't want to hand back the keys , good luck with your boat what is it you got
It's a Westerly Centaur, AnnMarie. 26-foot sailing boat with a (currently inactive) auxiliary engine. Current problem is with the fuel system - probably the injector pump, which could be serious and expensive
I moved some last winter, and this year, it's not done a lot, but I've left it alone this year, and it's looking better now, and hopefully it'll be better next year.
The second bed on my allotment is old(er than 10 years) and flowers in the spring. As mentioned above, I removed the flowering parts in the middle, and I am looking to replant this bed this winter. Should I wait until 2016 winter to give the bed I redid this year a chance to establish?
im a little naughty I never dug mine up , just cut it down towards the end of summer and leave it alone.... its always come back up in spring with no problems , in fact theres 3 plants there now all growing well and I get loads off it I end up given some away after freezing some
3 ideas for rhubarb recipes: Ginger - Orange - Strawberries
1. Cut rhubarb in pieces and put it in an oven proof dish. Add chopped stem ginger from a jar and pour in some of the sugar syrup as well. Lid on. Cook in oven at 170C for 30 min. Add sugar if it is not sweet enough.
2. Cut rhubarb in pieces and put in an oven proof dish. Add a whole orange cut in pieces. Add caster sugar to taste. Lid on. Cook in oven at 170C for 30 minutes approx.
3. Cut rhubarb in pieces and put in an oven proof dish. Add caster sugar to taste. Cook in oven at 170C for 20 minutes approx. Add cut up strawberries and put back in oven for 7 minutes. Delicious!

MMMM yes - it'd be great at the bottom of a sponge pud, esp if you do it with marmalade
Lots of custard too.
Sadly the engine's not playing at the moment so we didn't get out
oh what a shame

I'd've though that the new bed would start to crop properly in its second year - but if it doesn''t for any reason and you've dug up the old bed.....

I'll wait until the new bed is up and running to be on the safe side.
Thanks

Crumble topping for any of these:
50g porridge oats, 50g plain flour, 125g ground almonds, 50g soft brown sugar,
90g unsalted butter, 50g chopped almonds or pistachios or pecans
Rub the butter into the dry ingredients to make the crumble. Add the chopped nuts.
