Edible Mach Maethlon

*Come in Number 7, your time is up!* Redcurrants just about ready for picking at site 7 at the far right hand corner of the Coop. Redcurrant jelly, mmmm. There will also be a few goosgogs in the bed which is the end of the central pathway.

Pea pods are now appearing at the Edible Mach Show Allotment! Nothing better than fresh peas straight from a picked pod. They're not ready to pick yet though , they will need to swell up first

Anita Rani and the BBC Countryfile team visited Edible Mach’s Show Allotment on John Cantor’s catamacycle yesterday. After picking kale, cabbage and onions, they were on their way to the Centre for Alternative Technology to prepare a tasty curry. Edible Mach grows lots of unusual vegetables – but having coriander to harvest in the hungry gap may be a challenge too far – even for our green fingered gang! Thanks to Jodie Griffith, who welcomed the team – you’ll be able to see her on the Countryfile programme later this year. (And thanks to Callum for providing the high tech harvesting equipment – bydda'n barod!)https://vimeo.com/342133655Edible Mach Show Allotment has Visitorsvimeo.com

Fab new signs at the Show Allotment, many thanks to Julie Dawson for making them! We put them up yesterday during the volunteer session. You'll find lots more bilingual identification signs for the plants around the edges now too :) And Callum is taking a snapshot of the freshly planted herbs in the middle of the Edible Table, all from Tan-y-llyn nursery in Meifod. Enjoy!Photos from Mach Maethlon's postwww.facebook.com

We've got some interesting edibles growing at the train station right now - Thai basil, Peruvian black mint, salsify, edible dahlia, sweet potato and a coffee plant to complement the tea plant! Also the male kiwi that died has been replaced. All just planted so we'll see how things grow - fingers crossed for a warm summer!Photos from Mach Maethlon's postwww.facebook.com
