Next Sunday 21 March

Culinary Magic with Lee Harrison

Science is all around us; it’s in our food, our homes and at the Farmers Market!

How much science do you think you can find in a mixture of milk, cream, ice and fruit? Whatever the result, it’s probably going to be tasty…

  • freezing point depression
  • crystal formation
  • reaction rates

Join fellow science geeks for a fun and fascinating session as Lee explains the mysteries of food science with some tasty icy concoctions.

Make strawberry ice cream in a bag, pick up ice cubes without touching them and find out why some fruits don’t mix well with milk!

Last Sunday 7 March

An abundance of basil in the Edible Garden

Edible Garden with Diana Bickford from Bickleigh Vale Farm

March is the new Spring! It’s the perfect time of year to get your vegies in so dig in here and get the buzz on Autumn gardening.

We’re heading for the Autumn equinox. What’s an equinox?
There are two equinoxes a year, one in March (Autumn) and one in September (Spring). They occur when the sun is positioned directly over the equator, so day and night are in perfect balance with around 12 hours each. The days gradually shorten from 21 March onwards so make the most of the sunlight hours in your garden whilst you can!

We planted rainbow chard in the garden on Sunday ‘cause we love the striking spectrum of colours it creates in the vegie patch! Peas were also popped into peat pots to take home to watch them germinate.

Take a look at the tepees in our Edible Garden; already our telephone peas are 6cm high and sending out dainty tendrils to make the climb up tall bamboo stakes.

If you’re looking for a catchy tune to get you jumping, try a skipping or hand clapping song like this one:

Pease pudding hot
Pease pudding cold
Pease pudding in the pot nine days old
Some like it hot
Some like it cold
Some like it in the pot nine days old
