Growing garlic in England is easy. It is better to buy from seed or bulb companies, which take great care to provide "clean" bulbs, free of pests or viruses rather than from the supermarket which can be a bit hit and miss.
Garlic requires an open, sunny site and good drainage. For National Garlic Day, pop in for lunch and try out delicious home made roasted garlic and basil pesto risotto, chicken salad served with fresh home made garlic bread, wild mushroom and garlic pate and toast, and more...
COOKING TIP...
Cooking with garlic will leave an odour on your hands. To get rid of this, squeeze lemon juice into your hands and then rinse with water.
It is also time to plant English lavender. Lavender looks great in the garden but it can have many uses in the home too. It is a delicious ingredient in sweet dishes. Here at The Alasia we bake gorgeous lavender cup cakes and polenta and lavender biscuits.
TIME FOR GIVING...CRAZY LADY JUMPS FROM PLANE
You will be familiar with our very lovely Jo Arthur who works with us during the week. Jo is so brave, that she is jumping out of an actual plane while it's millions of feet in the air attached to a man or woman and a single parachute. Jo is jumping for charity, and the money she is raising goes to Breast Cancer Research UK. If you would like to make a donation towards Jo's brave endeavour, you can log on securely through the following web site: www.justgiving.com/joleneathur
TIME FOR LUNCH...
Sunday the 19th of July 2009 is The Big Lunch. The team behind this project want as many of the 61 million people in the UK as possible, to simultaneously sit down to lunch together, with their neighbours, in the middle of their street, as a simple but profound act of community. Read more...
Garlic also repels mosquito's...at least it seems to work on the Greek one's anyway!
ReplyDeleteSo jealous of Jo's jump...I've wanted to do another one from the minute I landed after my first one! Hope she enjoys it as much as I did! And she's doing it for the same cause!
Nice blog!
