Do you have a glut of one crop or another? If so, rather than leaving your apples, tomatoes, etc. to rot, please offer them to your neighbours. Many plotholder have a limited amount of space to work with and would really appreciate what you can’t eat or store yourself.
Sharing
The Committee will leave some plastic trays and crates on the grassy Social Area which is half way along the Middle Lane so that we can all leave our surplus there. If anyone has an old table or bench that they would be happy to donate, could they leave it on the Social Area so that we can raise the fruit and veg off the ground?
Recipes
If you’ve run out of idea for preparing apples one of our members has two suggestions to pass on – try making Apple Chutney or Apple Cider Vinegar. You can find the instructions on this page.
Juice
To have your apples and pears professionally juiced you could coordinate with other fruit growers to take your harvest to Oxford Farmhouse, which is about six miles away.
Your suggestions
If you join the informal Facebook page “East Ward Allotmenteers Oxford” you can share more tips and ideas.
