One jar out of the eight has already been consumed, so it isn't going to last very long!<BR/><BR/>Once they're full of soil, the raised beds will be used for salad greens in the winter, eggplants/aubergines and peppers in the summer and maybe some early peas, carrots and lettuces in the spring. Haven't really finally decided yet, but am looking forward to experimenting to see what works the best!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16642836504821695236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30590907.post-57627930905233588222009-02-21T16:41:00.000-05:002009-02-21T16:41:00.000-05:00I fancied having a go at making marmalade this yea...I fancied having a go at making marmalade this year but could not track down any Seville oranges. I suppose that I will have to wait another year now :)<BR/>I imagine that you can't wait to plant up those new raised beds. They look most sturdy. What do you plan to grow in them ?Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10794392333038962798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30590907.post-70057215581635745842009-02-17T15:51:00.000-05:002009-02-17T15:51:00.000-05:00I still have to make mine this year.

(Apart from Stuart talking about picks on his tutorial!) I was sitting here very attentively!<BR/><BR/>I've not made maramalade this year but I like a dark marmalade with thick chunks - and that's easier to make than to find and buy.<BR/><BR/>Your method looks good . . . with the cutting after the fruit is already cooked.<BR/><BR/>You don't have to make it with seville oranges though . . . grapefruit and lemons . . .<BR/><BR/>(Ginger!)<BR/><BR/>And I know the beds are functional - but don't they look beautiful too!<BR/><BR/>EstherEsther Montgomeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05412078991551799972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30590907.post-64246381804983304352009-02-15T17:27:00.000-05:002009-02-15T17:27:00.000-05:00You are a serious gardener if you have such a gree...You are a serious gardener if you have such a greenhouse and raised beds!

If I'm down your way I'll buy some produce from you. Nothing beats home grown veggies. Lat week I used up the last of the home grown tomatoes from the freezer and had to buy a can of tomatoes this week .. it won't be the same.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02114199768103222510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30590907.post-85640171270140961472009-02-15T16:33:00.000-05:002009-02-15T16:33:00.000-05:00Your marmalade looks wonderful -- such a great col...Your marmalade looks wonderful -- such a great colour! I've made other jams/jellies, but never marmalade. I love it, and so does my FIL, so I may attempt this recipe. :) And I can smell the heavenly scent from those cedar planks! How lucky you are to have such a lovely greenhouse!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
