An intergenerational recipe book Grow it, Cook it, Eat it, was designed and produced with the support of Frenchbarn Allotment Society by young and older people of Higher Blackley.
Allotment growers at Frenchbarn Allotments provided the growing expertise for the ingredients and helped older people and their families learn to grow their own food.
Why not try a few of their recipes?
The show this year will be on Saturday 6th September, at the site hut, at the bottom of Highfield Road, Levenshulme.
In addition to the usual classes of the competition, we have a brand new photography competition and we are taking requests for changes to the classes next year.
The show is open to the general public from 2.30pm, with a bring-your-grub barbeque, face painting and badge making from 3pm and the usual auction of produce from 5pm. Everyone is welcome!
All this warm humid air has given everything a massive boost in growth and the difference in all the plants is huge. The other effect is ,of course,BLIGHT all my potatoes have been affected and are cut down to ground level.
Having said that, the onset was a lot slower than last year and a month to six weeks later, so lets hope the potatoes are that much better. Peas and beans love this warm humid air and are starting to produce on a daily basis.
In fact looking round the plot there aren’t any of the crops that haven’t started producing for me. This is the month when it is a case of water, pick and weed with little time left over to do any other work.
There are other jobs that need doing and have to be squeezed in. Regular sowing of salad crops, in particular, with the spring crops as well.
