Do you often run out of onions and you discover this just when the shops have closed? I do all the time. I discovered a handy little product in the Asian grocery markets Fried red onion and sometimes called fried shallot, but the igredients state onion.. I buy it in the 1kg pack as I don't get to the 'big smoke' often. The brand I have at the moment is EAGLOBE it has no artifical flavour and no preservative. It is great to add to soups and stews in place of fresh onion. It is also great as a garnish on top of dishes. My kids eat it straight out of the packet if you let them. Now I am never without onion when I need it. |
| Winter time - what to plant?. goto page 2 |
| During winter many plants should not planted out due to the fact that the ground is too cold for roots to establish themsleves. Things like many evergreen trees fall into this category, like citrus for example. However it is a good time to think about getting some decidous trees in. In the middle of winter bare-root fruit trees should be available in your local nurseries. If your area is prone to very heavy frosts I would suggest that you wait until very late in the season to plant them. |
