Has anyone eaten pigeon pea sprouts? They're supposed to be nutritious, and to my mind would be a good way to use the plentiful crop when you don't eat much in the way of the dried pea.

Barbara Tealby replied to Christa's discussion Living on a 1/8th acre site that receives 11 inches of rain per year.

"Very inspirational, but I'm not too sure about those showers!"

Barbara Tealby commented on Christa’s status

"Christa, I've got an elderberry, but I don't know which one it is. I know mine grows like a weed - easy from cuttings, in fact it's one plant I don't put thru the mulcher. Cuttings go straight into the bin, as I really only want one. I just made…"

Posted by Barbara Tealby on October 5, 2021 at 5:31pm

I just dried a pile of cherry tomato halves in the dehydrator (thanks, Andy). I'm thinking of storing them in oil in the fridge. Has anyone else done this, and if so, how long did you keep them for? I have seen all sorts of advice on the web -…

Mandarins, anyone?

Posted by Barbara Tealby on July 7, 2021 at 10:12am

We clean-picked our mandarin tree this morning, and have three boxes of mandarins - all ripe - they wouldn't hang on the tree much longer.
