[ChupitosGalore]

have just harvested some and realise i havent a clue.

similarly Salsify. no idea.

and anyone know if pumpkins go more orange after they are picked? or what do do with pumpkins? or, um, how long they keep?

cheers

[clearly failing earth mother cert this yr lol]

borlotti beans are great in stews and casseroles.

no idea about the other things sorry!
whar IS salsify?

salsify

No you're not failing

Borlotti beans make a lovely soup and you can add them to stews

Pumpkins. You can roast them, make soup, gnocci.

Salsify I'm stumped on

another salsify idea here

Always wanted to try salsify but never got my hands on it. Don't know what I'd've done with it, though, sorry.

Borlotti beans are good in a nice 'rustic' bean soup with tomatoes, onions, peppers, paprika...

ah ok re borlottis. they look v pretty must say. are they edible when not all white and pink, or should i only eat the 'ripe' ones?

most of the plants themselves have succumbed to blight, what with this suddenly turning into a rainforest zone so am harvesting last of saveable crops.

about to click on salsify links... theyre a funny thing. so far have cleaned them up by scrubbing and then fried in butter with teeny little failed carrots. yum, but they dry out a lot quicker than carrots.

can i keep a pumpkin for halloween d'you think? or will it be rotten by then?

[spose i get some points for actually growing the things in first place arf]

those recipes suggest an awful lot of peeling wityh the salsify. wouldnt leave much for cooking if mine are anything to go by

thank you everso for responses you lot!

Put them in soup.

gorgeous but very smelly and pungent
