Today was a very wet day - so we worked inside. Sarah from the RHS had brought some planters which the students planted with conifer, ivy and heather. They made a great job and hopefully will provide us with a bit of revenue later next month.
We spent the rest of the morning today planting our blueberry plants in pots and carving our pumpkins - photos to follow tomorrow!
We also searched around for a recipe for something to cook with our parsnips. This is what we came up with.
We grated 12 oz of peeled parsnips.
Cracked and whisked 3 of our eggs with 9fl oz of oil.
9oz Self raising flour, 6 oz sugar, orange zest from 2 oranges (which we forgot to put in), and 1 tsp of ground ginger. We mixed all the dry ingredients together and then added the wet ones, gave it a good mix and added a couple of handfuls of sultanas. We put the mixture into two lined loaf tins and baked at 180 for about 30 - 35 minutes.
Here are the finished loaves - we are probably going to ice them with a bit of butter icing or cream cheese icing if we have some. They were really nice when we tasted them!
