But I freeze, preserve and now dry things. The rest are cooked and made into all sorts of sauces and meals and frozen too.<BR/><BR/>The rest is stored and the food that does not fit into any of the above catogories - just lettuce I think - gets eaten! And the roots, carrots, parsnip, and brassicas stay in the ground over winter and get dug up as needed.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17243672302584272760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15646653.post-1148551869639917932006-05-25T11:11:00.000+01:002006-05-25T11:11:00.000+01:00Hello alCan I just say, I love your blog!I came ac...Hello al<BR/><BR/>Can I just say, I love your blog!<BR/>I came across it by accident a little while ago, whilst looking for info about allotments - we're thinking of putting in for one, but want to find out more before we let ourselves in for all the hard work! Your photos are fab and it's really interesting to see what you do with your produce too - there are only the 2 of us and I am concerned about dealing with gluts, so it was interesting to see your posts about drying the peppers etc. Could you tell us a bit more about that - how do you do it and how do you store it afterwards? You are a real inspiration!<BR/><BR/>Redwitchglamlawlibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18324934873858919054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15646653.post-1148498356511475292006-05-24T20:19:00.000+01:002006-05-24T20:19:00.000+01:00Flip you guessed it.
