Room for a Radish: May 2016

Room for a Radish. Seasonal suppers and stories from the veg patch. Wild hop plants can often be found growing in the hedgerows and field margins of Kent and Sussex. These plants are a legacy from the time when hops were a common crop in South East England. Sadly most hops used in the UK beer industry these days are imported, often from as far afield as China, though the craft beer movement is spawning a renewed interest in English hops.

Room for a Radish: Culinary adventures with hops
http://roomforaradish.blogspot.com/2016/10/culinary-adventures-with-hops.html
Room for a Radish. Seasonal suppers and stories from the veg patch. Culinary adventures with hops. My first experiment with culinary uses of the hop plant was eating hop shoots in the spring, which I have also foraged from wild hedgerow hop plants. I wrote about these elsewhere. And found them to be pretty tasty. Hop plants benefit from pruning in spring, so it is possible to glean some hop shoots from cultivated plants without damaging their growth. Bitter. So bitter as to be really quite unpleasant.

Room for a Radish: September 2015

Room for a Radish. Seasonal suppers and stories from the veg patch. Damsons - and what to do with them. Damsons are a variety of wild plum in season in September. They are smaller than domesticated plums, with a dark purple skin, often covered in a whitish bloom. They have a tart taste raw, but once cooked with a little sugar, have a delicious fruity flavour. Damsons can be found growing wild in hedgerows, but are also cultivated and can be found lurking in gardens and elderly orchards. Room for a Radish.

Room for a Radish: Winter salad leaves
http://roomforaradish.blogspot.com/2017/01/winter-salad-leaves.html
Room for a Radish. Seasonal suppers and stories from the veg patch. Rocket seeds are sold in a number of varieties, a popular one of which is called wild rocket. This variety produces the relatively thin leaves with serrated edges. It is reasonably hardy, and will over-winter in mild areas or with a little protection. Sow in August for a winter crop. Growing in the garden to satisfy my winter cress needs. 11 January 2017 at 18:02. Great post Aaron. I sort of feel rubbish that I havent done the same!

Room for a Radish: Garden foraging - a brief guide to edible weeds
http://roomforaradish.blogspot.com/2016/11/garden-foraging-or-brief-guide-to.html
Room for a Radish. Seasonal suppers and stories from the veg patch. Garden foraging - a brief guide to edible weeds. As spring moves into summer ground elder leaves become tougher and stronger in flavour. If you do have some in your garden, I suggest eating your fill in spring then digging out the plant's roots before it spreads too far. There are plenty of other edible weeds that can be found in gardens: stinging nettles, fat hen and chickweed are all common and worth eating. As with all wild food m...

Room for a Radish: Which tomatoes should I grow?
http://roomforaradish.blogspot.com/2016/11/which-tomatoes-should-i-grow.html
Room for a Radish. Seasonal suppers and stories from the veg patch. Which tomatoes should I grow? As a bit of background, I grow my tomatoes outdoors in SE England in pots against a south-facing wall where they get lots of sun. Some varieties might prefer a greenhouse, or somewhere nearer the Med, but my list should give a bit of an idea about what will grow well here in the UK. I've listed the seed merchants that I bought the seeds from, which are the Organic Gardening Catalogue. T&M) and Franchi Seeds.
