sunflowers, soya and squids

News for September

Soya are looking good, edamame filling but long way off from picking.



To effectively harvest edamame the pods should be picked by hand and not by machine to avoid stems and leaves. Green soybeans in the pod are picked before they ripen in order to prepare edamame. The ends of the pod may be cut before boiling or steaming.
Then the pods are boiled in water, steamed or microwaved. The most common preparation uses salt for taste. The salt may either be dissolved in the boiling water before introducing the soybean pods, or it may be added after the pods have been cooked. Fresh edamame should be blanched first before being frozen



New beds for winter veg and green manures............. outside Emmas door


and a few sunflowers



Success. Finally found out we have some funds. Bit late for this autumn which is a real shame as we could have really got off the ground! Very sad for all involved.


Never mind, must move on from the let down and keep focused on the job in hand. After months of work and research into setting out a new structure without any funds to do anything I find my efforts in raising a few pounds were rewarded after all!
