Progress in the jungle

Plot 1a or as I refer to it 'The Jungle' is the plot right behind the shop. This plot has been vacant for a while and was fairly overgrown. I've contacted the council and asked if it is possible to take on 1a.

I got the plot in July 2016 and this post is just some pictures of progress from nettle farm to potatoes.

Inherited rhubarb and vanilla jam:

450g rhubarb stems

450g Jam sugar (jam sugar has pectine in)

1tbs Vanilla essence

1tbs Lemon juice

Mix everything together and then simmer it till the rhubarb turns soft. Once the jam leaves a little skin on a cold plate it is ready to go into sterilised jars...it is that simple
