Mixed lettuce leaves, land cress, a couple of spring onions and some Apples for dehydrating and freezing.

Basil, bay leaves and thyme.

Raspberries not many because the rain turned heavy.

I found a few tomatoes in the early morning forage. Rain prevented any further excursions.

Pardon me fo posting on this thread but I have quite a few apples to harvest so I have just ordered an apple corer/peeler from B&Q online, with free delivery at £8.49 which wa the cheapest I could find? I know othes on this site have used them so look forward to using it to make use of this along with my dehydrator fo processing my apple rings.
My plan would be to fill a bowl with water and add lemon juice to stop 'rings' discolouring as I was going? How much lemon juice would I need to add? Huh

Mods, please move this post to another relevant post if you are not happy with it being here?

Would that be a metric squirt or an imperial squirt then? Huh Big Grin

Half a teaspoon of citric acid might do as well, if you've got some.

Vinny I use a good old imperial squirt  Big Grin   
The weights to my Avery scales are in lbs and oz, its a bit of a pain to convert any 'new' recipes I use so I mostly stick to the Be-Ro book.

Lots of pears as the wind was blowing them down and quite a few were damaged while still hard, what to do with a kilo+ of damaged pears before they rot. Also courgettes, peppers and apples. I checked under the empty plastic bag I placed in the greenhouse on some damp soil and found 3 slugs to dispose of rather than harvest.
