Once again it is time to catch up with other gardeners in our Garden share collective and the theme is SAVE. Link to the other gardeners here . I really dont make jams or preserves out of the garden - I prefer to just grow enough so that it is eaten right there and then while fresh. I did plant extra ginger last year, and dug that out a month or so ago. I like to keep a big bag in the freezer, so easy just to grab a chunk and grate it - I do that with turmeric as well. My favourite after dinner drink at the moment is grated turmeric and ginger in hot coconut milk, with a little black pepper grated in. A little golden cup of goodness. Oh another thing I have been doing is picking and drying our coffee beans, and the first batch was roasted last weekend. I just pick them as they ripen, so it looks as though I will have one pot a week :). I do love to grow from seed - it seems proper somehow. If someone else has started the seedlings it seems more like fostering or babysitti
