- Pumpkin is a new variety for pies
- Hang the herbs to dry and use them as you need
- Apples are small with skin blemish but very sweet and crisp
- Brassicas like kale/broccoli/cauli are a bit limp from freezing temps in the field – soak them in ice water to rehydrate

- We planted half of our 2018 garlic yesterday

Garlic going in
Easy stir fry with this week’s produce:
- Cut up a squash into cubes and put into a hot pan with oil on medium high heat.
- Cut your brussel sprouts in half and put them in with several garlic cloves.
- Salt and pepper and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Lower the temperature and add some butter and your cabbage and apples, then more salt and pepper as required until just soft but not mushy.
Enjoy! You can do so many more combinations of this as desired.
