I'm really sorry but I can't remember how to tag someone (rather than quoting) on this type of forum. The @ didn't work for me. I'm pretty sure I have to call up a members list and search but just can't crack it! Help appreciated.

  Pizza toppings
Posted by: Mikey - 25-05-2020, 08:42 AM - Replies (10)

Ok, I’m after your favourite pizza toppings along with some inventive veg garden combos. Pizza or calzone I don’t mind (calzone for those not sure is a folded pizza which looks like our Cornish pasty)

We already do

margarita - grated Parmesan, grated mozzarella, basil 
Neopolitan - grated Parmesan, fresh buffalo mozarella, basil & olive oil
Arugula - grated mozzarella, prosciutto, rocket
Patatas - thin potato, rosemary, grated mozzarella
Garlic Bread - roasted whole garlic, parsley, butter, grated mozzarella 
Pomodorino - oven dried cherry tomatoes in olive oil, grated mozzarella and basil

Now I’m looking for veg or veg and meat combo which might work as toppings. I love roasted broccoli for example so maybe roasted broccoli with blue cheese. I’m open to ideas the wackier the better. Try and avoid the chain restaurant standard combos though I’m working outside the box here, and we have the whole garden to play with. 

I will try and photography the tastiest sounding combos. Smile


Ok I’ve got one Big Grin

Fig, buffalo mozzarella, Parma ham

And another Big Grin

Cranberry sauce not tomato, Camembert, roast garlic and rosemary

Does anyone use the above product?

I have issues with my carrots if I leave them in the ground over winter they are riddled with carrot fly. Which disproves they can’t scale a raised bed mine are 450mm high, and my carrots are flanked by onions. I thought this might help this year and I wondered if others used it?

  Dibbered leeks.
Posted by: Vinny - 24-05-2020, 12:40 PM - Replies (8)

This is an oldie which everyone probably knows but its worth adding in case anyone doesn't. Huh You don't have to do it like this, but I do.

When transplanting seedling  leeks for the table into their final positions use a dibber. Rake area flat and dibber holes at required distance. The deeper you dibber the more white your leeks will have. Leeks don't need to be too big for table use so spacing at 150mm is ample enough..
After dibbering, drop in the leek (some people trim the roots and tops, but I don't bother.)

Once seedling leeks are in dibbered hole, fill hole with water, and that's it. Cool leave the hole open and it will allow the leek to expand as it grows.

Simples. Big Grin

My two dogs, Amber the German Shepherd bitch and Kato the Siberian Husky male having a frolic in a local pond. Smile        

Both dogs squaring up to each other on the grass. Smile

Kato needs to be permanetly on a lead or else he bolts whereas Amber wanders but is easily retrieved.
