Have you thought of making a liqueur with the overabundance of fruit? Obviously not going to be ready early enough for the picnic but if we were all patient? I know for many it is too soon but you could aim for C.....mas. Loving the rhubarb and custard pud. Some very well reasoned comments as always, thank you.

I have got 20 spare cucumber plants this year, I managed to get rid of 5 yesterday but I now have to make space for the 15 remaining ones as I am unable to throw them out.

Our cucumbers are only just flowering and the winter squashes have only male flowers open so far, it's early for us (West coast Scotland) to have courgettes. I'm absolutely drowning in NZ spinach (Tetragonia tetragonioides) at the moment, might have to make a spanakopita or similar for the picnic.

spanakopita

🤣🤣 I had to read that twice, then go and look it up - sounds delicious!

Happy to swap cucumbers and blackcurrants for spinach - esp if it is in some nice pastry with feta 😉

Wow! They beat mine, although I’ll definitely win the cucumber category - I’ve got bazillions!

Someone near here put my cucumbers outside whilst I was away … I have no cucumbers 😟

greencartbluecart · 22/06/2025 13:59

Oh that sounds rather good and there is plenty to share !

Late to this so may be missing the point , but please no one steal rhubarb - I have a freezer full of the stuff

You have to gently cook it with maple syrup and ginger and then fold into madagascan vanilla custard before it becomes worthy of burglary. I am happy to do that for you, if you bring it with you🤗

Blackcurrant glut solution here.

Ooh I might have to try that, thank you.

MiL gave me an old recipe for an ice made of blackcurrant leaves - apparatus very refreshing. I’ll try and dig it out.

We could all have the picnic in my kitchen, if you like, while we wait for the weather at reddit to improve. Could also plan a MN Horticultural Show while we watch Arabella steal the rhubarb and save Boiled from drowning in custard.

This clique thing is fun.

SlackJawedDisbeliefXY · 22/06/2025 13:22

Most people agree that 1+1=2, or that you drop something and it falls downwards, or that the earth is a sphere rather than flat.

Are all these people also guilty of being part of a group-think clique or are they just stating fact?

a lot of people on this forum are not very nice

Would anyone ever make that criticism on a forum frequented mainly by men?

Can i come too - I can bring some more rhubarb, a load of blackcurrants and some baby courgette - the makings of a midnight feast? (If Arabella does her burglary at night, although coffee time might work better?)

It’s a bit of a clique on here where everyone agrees with everyone else

So unlike the Trans subreddit. Which is a hotbed of debate and argument! 😄

I've got 2 thornless blackberry plants and the numbers of fruits on the is insane. I might take a photo later.

Show quote history

Amazing! I like the sound of thornless blackberry. My blackcurrant is DENSE with blackcurrants - I’ve been see seen anything like it. The cucumbers are going crazy too.

Looks like we’re in for a bumper year of everything! Maybe we could have a MN Horticultural Show later in the year.

Oh hello. Please do tell us what it is that you personally disagree with. I posted a list yesterday but no one has responded yet. Maybe you can be the first. I’ll even post it again if you like.
