I love beans too, and was delighted to have grown enough to blanch and freeze a load. Until I tasted them. Whether steamed or boiled, from frozen or after defrosting, they have that awful soggy taste I remember from School Dinners. Is there any way round that? I ask because you seem to know your onions, and beans...Janet/Plantaliscioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15605580157193047780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912468918847715397.post-36257266263800071532011-11-02T21:39:45.457+00:002011-11-02T21:39:45.457+00:00interesting! i do like your onion experiment...ple...interesting! i do like your onion experiment...please keep us postedLilithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05437668807438153585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912468918847715397.post-14214051645298283132011-11-02T21:01:01.229+00:002011-11-02T21:01:01.229+00:00Thinking outside the box (crate) again, Elaine... ...Thinking outside the box (crate) again, Elaine...

I had some amazing white grapes from a local fruit grower who comes to my local farmers market. They were the sweetest grapes I've ever had. I'm going to get the name of them from him on Saturday. Haven't got the space for them at the moment but it's worth knowing for the future. Interesting experiment with your alliums. I pulled a leek the other day and it snapped off leaving the base in the ground so maybe I'll get something sprouting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
