In parts of north west Germany they have "Grünkohlfahrt" where folk will visit a country inn to consume large quantities of kale, sausage and schnapps. I like the sound of that.
January 2006 - Frankie & Mel are starting up an allotment occasionally helped by their husbands, Nick & Steve. The plan is to grow lots of veg and some flowers. Nick and Steve want to wear smocks, smoke pipes and drink cider... Allotment 21 will end in January 2007 when we hope to move house. www.facebook.com/frankiesgardendiary

Its ceratinly a change from eating sausage with chips and beans!
as long as there is adequate ventalation...
When did you plant the kale? I understand it is a capable winter crop but will have to put it on the planting calendar for next year.
I've made the schnapps - missing the rest though lol
Kale, sausage and schnapps? I like the sound of that, too!
I'd love to have a go at making scnapps - is it hard? The kale was planted in late April and is supposed to improve after the frosts. Every time we cut it, new leaves appear, it is a really good value veg.
I made the Rhubarb Schnapps according to Lottie's recipe earlier in the year...except I think I went a bit overboard on the sugar (No scales, so I guessed) and it turned out more like rhubarb syrup...no one I foisted it upon would finish their glass...
The fault was entirely mine of course and not the recipe!
