ADAPT Saturday Market

Saturday 16th August

NOTE – new location, Lord Combermere Carpark.

Our gardens are parched and we are advised to use our precious water wisely. What is called Grey water used water from our sinks and baths can often be used to keep our plants alive. There are good tips around, advising us to water, evenings and early morning, consider using trays under pots and cut some circular discs from old plastic bags and place one around the base of the stem of favourite plants to enable moisture to be retained in the soil. The discs can be used year after year, like mine in the greenhouse.

We can see the many trees and plants are suffering in the dry conditions, naturally trees have a defence mechanism, if there is insufficient water in the soil to maintain the leaf structure, they loose some leaves and their fruit. The trees are not dying just conserving their energy.

ADAPT Market 10am to noon

On the market this week will be runner beans, tomatoes, courgettes, green gages and plums. There will be chive and mint plants, marmalades, seedless blackberry jam, plum jam and red currant jelly.

Our busy jam makers have run out of jam jars, if the good people of Audlem and District have any empty ones we would willingly recycle them.

Of interest to the food connoisseurs for the first time, we have a batch of Hot Honey made with local honey, local cider vinegar and those chillies. Delicious on pizzas, chicken meals and also drizzled on desserts.

There will be our free range eggs, apple juices and local honey as well. Cakes--- come early-- Cakes will be orange drizzle, Victoria sandwich and apple ginger cake – it's both fat free and preventing apple waste

As a bonus, there will be free apples, so come and get them for those crumbles, pies, puree, or even to eat fresh. Worcester Permains, Laxtons Superb, Early Victoria and others.
Don t forget our selection of garden plants.

10am till noon at our new location The Lord Combermere Car Park
