He'd kept them (and some others) with this kind of thing in mind. I guess it would be portable - it's only sitting on pallets and there are posts at each corner placed well into the ground and nailed to the greenhouse. So I suppose if these posts were taken away, it'd be easily moved.<br />As for rhubarb, we always grew it when I was growing up and the patch my mum had is what we still use each year (sis-in-law and hubbie now in that house). We always made jam and rhubarb tarts with it. I hope you enjoy your jam! Sounds lovely!Homeschool on the Crofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03400742529025230433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439971908848990993.post-62638562700205062382010-06-01T00:59:48.401+01:002010-06-01T00:59:48.401+01:00Hello!

What a delightfully enormous garden! <br />I have happy memories planting a garden with my mom and family. I would love to one day be able to do it again with my kids :) I loved the pictures! <br />Much love and God bless!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13274826522846464086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439971908848990993.post-83339800163431294762010-05-24T15:33:55.942+01:002010-05-24T15:33:55.942+01:00Wow!

We just slice up the cucumbers, or do them whole, and put them in a brine of vinegar, pickling salt, and dill seed. Yum! :) <br /> -RachelRachel and Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01932147946040594451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439971908848990993.post-44191710652392527822010-05-24T13:25:43.951+01:002010-05-24T13:25:43.951+01:00Thank you for your comments on my blog!

We also plant a big garden every year. I LOVE it! I always preserve a bunch of it to have throughout the year which is so nice. Harvesting time is SO busy and I get so exhausted as it seems that all I do is pick, wash, and preserve in one form or another. But it's so nice to be able to go to the can cellar or chest freezer in the depth of winter and pull out some organic, homegrown veggies!Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01520682388731742925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439971908848990993.post-68598619490549568542010-05-24T10:34:01.480+01:002010-05-24T10:34:01.480+01:00I've just looked it up! 6 degrees C is about 4...I've just looked it up! 6 degrees C is about 43 degrees Farenheit. I told you it was cold! <br />We had our first salad leaves the other day - but they were grown in the little greenhouse.....definitely not outside!<br />Are the pickles pickled onions? or something else pickled?<br />It all sounds wonderful anyway!

Around our house, it got to 94 degrees F. a couple of weeks ago! We are right now, harvesting lettuce, spinach, radishes, and soon will be doing peas. Our potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, turnips, onions, squash, and melons are thriving, but not ready yet, of course. Have you ever made pickles? Last year I canned up 120 qt. jars of them! (And since there are 11 of us in our family, and my brother loved them, we finished the last jar in March! :) -RachelRachel and Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01932147946040594451noreply@blogger.com
