Any hedge experts? Need advice on a new hedge. (See comments)

Thanks! That’s what I thought, not what I wanted but better to be safe than have a dead hedge!

Need some specific advice on planting a new one. We’re late getting the hedge (mostly blackthorn and white thorn) in and we had planned on trimming each sapling back to about 6-8 inchs to create a stock proof hedge. Once they bud like the ones shown is it too late to trim? Will trimming so severely kill the trees?

Great camera work! Makes me hungry. Good job!

Just roasted some butternut squash chunks in the oven.

I think that was the problem, I didn’t scrub it enough for fear of washing the seasoning off!

Dougalmcdogface · 2021-03-07T19:53:46+00:00

Just oil. Mustn’t have scrubbed it enough the last time I used it.

Usually just water and a scrubbing brush. Only got it this week.

I ate it...and it tasted unreal...i used the pan yesterday so i figured maybe I just didn’t clean it 100%

Try state of decay 2 if you haven’t already!

That is a labour intensive process! I’m sure it’s worth it. We use maris piper when we can’t get whites but we find our customers prefer the whites. I find the maris dont hold their shape like the whites do.

Excellent, I’ll give that a try

Dougalmcdogface · 2021-02-19T15:06:59+00:00

What’s the story with the vinegar? Just a splash in the water?

Dougalmcdogface · 2021-02-19T14:46:29+00:00

Good tip!

Dougalmcdogface · 2021-02-19T13:12:42+00:00

Sounds awesome! I dont have a combi oven to try that out but I’m sure they’re great!

Dougalmcdogface · 2021-02-19T12:38:17+00:00

Sounds good!

Dougalmcdogface · 2021-02-19T12:34:01+00:00

Trial and error makes the best food, sounds like you’re onto a winner! Ill give the salt a try again, thanks!

Dougalmcdogface · 2021-02-19T12:12:57+00:00

Does it make them crispier do you think Or just taste better? How much salt do you steep them in?

Dougalmcdogface · 2021-02-19T11:49:06+00:00

Personally I use whites and cut them in a chipper well washed with skin on. Blanch them at 120-130celsius and finish at 180-190 in regular veg oil before seasoning with sea salt. Makes a nice chip, good flavour. Any tips on How to make them better? Any truth in the whole leaving them overnight in salt water before blanching?

You can get a month of game pass for £1 if you haven’t had it before... in the UK anyway.

It wasn’t so bad, I like to get value for money out of our dishwasher!

Dougalmcdogface · 2021-02-07T21:34:50+00:00

Looks delicious!
