Music Twelve days of Christmas for Gardeners
Posted by: Veggie - 23-12-2024, 01:02 PM - Replies (54)

Shall we re-write the Twelve Days of Christmas making it appropriate for gardeners? The twelve days start on Christmas Day, 25th, and end January 5th.
 https://www.calendarpedia.com/when-is/tw...stmas.html

Here are the original words:- 

On the twelfth day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
Twelve drummers drumming,
Eleven pipers piping,
Ten lords a-leaping,
Nine ladies dancing,
Eight maids a-milking,
Seven swans a-swimming,
Six geese a-laying,
Five golden rings,
Four calling birds,
Three French hens,
Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pear tree!


What would you like to receive On your First Day of Christmas instead of a "Partridge in a Pear tree".  Rolleyes

  Christmas Veg & traditional baking/treats
Posted by: JJB - 20-12-2024, 08:26 AM - Replies (7)

These days I'm fairly traditional with Xmas dinner veg. Plain brussels, broc  & carrots. Roast potatoes and honeyed Parsnips. In past younger years I used to experiment,  I had more enthusiasm in those days.  I'm not keen on chestnuts with anything let alone brussels . I'm going to try a recipe for roasted brussels in a balsamic and honey glaze but perhaps before Xmas day. At 8p a packet, there's nothing to lose. Vichy carrots were nice as was cabbage and bacon, but there's only so much two can eat.

As for traditions in baking, there's mince pies to my mum's recipe; orange pastry, with a dollop of cream cheese on top of the mincemeat, under the top crust. Homemade sausage rolls, cheese sablés and Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without smoked salmon or gravadlax open sandwiches and asparagus rolls for tea. You wouldn't believe how difficult it is to get tinned green asparagus tips. They're very 60's and so out of fashion these days.

What if any traditions do you follow every Christmas.  All except Veggie who probably does a ritual rummage in the freezer. Smile
