North West Sutherland Food Link: October 2010

http://nwsfoodlink.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html

North West Sutherland Food Link. Sunday, 10 October 2010. It is with great regret that I have to inform you that this years Tattie Festival, due to be held in Durness, has been cancelled. This was not an easy decision to come to, but with a shortage of willing helpers, and the poor summer we've had, we have a great lack of vegetables. This is our main fundraising event, and we hope to have an even bigger event next year. We will be attending the School Christmas Fayre in Scourie, and hope to see you there.

North West Sutherland Food Link: How to store vegetables overwinter

http://nwsfoodlink.blogspot.com/2010/09/how-to-store-vegetables-overwinter.html

North West Sutherland Food Link. Tuesday, 7 September 2010. How to store vegetables overwinter. Now to harvesting carrots and storage. They're not going to develop much more now, and want to get them before the slugs. I've heard that they should be stored in dry sand or peat, has anyone done this, and how long do they last?

North West Sutherland Food Link: Entering Vegetables in your local produce show

http://nwsfoodlink.blogspot.com/2010/09/entering-vegetables-in-your-local.html

North West Sutherland Food Link. Friday, 10 September 2010. Entering Vegetables in your local produce show. I've been involved with judging vegetables at a couple of shows over the last two years. At the last one, I was asked "Why didn't mine win? So what was I looking for in the perfect display? The most important thing with any display is to have fresh, good produce, free of disease and blemishes, and of a uniform size, shape, and colour. Good luck next year. Posted by NWS Foodlink.

North West Sutherland Food Link: March 2011

http://nwsfoodlink.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html

North West Sutherland Food Link. Thursday, 10 March 2011. OK So we're starting to get busy now. The croft is still very wet, even though I've dug the drains. I've started removing weeds, and losening the soil in preparation for a covering of seaweed, and rotorvating. I'm not sure wether to put the seaweed on overwinter, as a mulch, or if it provides more nutrients when applied in spring. What do others do? Good luck with your season, and don't forget to look at the Foodlink website. Posted by NWS Foodlink.
