Mache Rescue

On my tour of the garden this afternoon I finally resigned myself to the demise of my little bed of mache. It had survived the winter, but it was being overtaken by the dratted chickweed.

I fetched my stirrup hoe and started digging. But lo and behold! It was like Moses parting the Red Sea. The mache went right, the chickweed went left. Soon I was on my knees, shaking out the clumps of perfectly formed mache and filling a big bowl with it.

I'm seeing the makings of a nice salad for Easter.

Oh, ye of little faith...

Ed, I am going to try making the sauerkraut. I adore sauerkraut. Will make it next week, just after I report back to you on tomorrow's project: the stuffed ham.

You will love the sauerkraut. When it comes to cooking it, I saute some onion, apples and add juniper berries and carraway seed. Great with a pork roast. Maybe even that stuffed ham you're working on...
