Tina C Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Here is an idea for a present - and hopefully a way to convert a few people to the organic cause. I have just started getting a veg box from River Nene. I have enjoyed the experience so much that I have decided that my parents and some other relatives who happen to be in the delivery area are going to get veg boxes for Christmas. For mum and dad - one the week before Christmas (plus some extras), then one every other week for a couple of months. Others - just one veg box in January. Beats Interflora! Oh well, back to the Christmas shopping - all online this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Brilliant idea! ( I wondered what I was going to do with all the celery which is going past it's best in the veggie patch ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Lesley says: I wondered what I was going to do with all the celery which is going past it's best in the veggie patch Why not make vast cauldrons of Celery Soup and then freeze it? Scrumptious! edit - I think the slugs have decided it's their Christmas present - Lesley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debbie Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 What a good idea....I also get my veggie box from Rivernene. The Veggies are lovely and a very good service from them too. I'm going to send some as pressies, thanks Tina for the idea. Debbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina C Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 Oh no don't tell too many people - they will run out of vegetables. Perhaps we should suggest that River Nene issue gift vouchers so people can choose their own delivery dates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
