Apologies for some rough and ready editing today.

Today the Green and Orange Chef will be visiting The Allotment Market Stall in Duthie Park with the Trusty Street Sounds Microphone.

Come and see us at Duthie Park in the Winter Garden's Lobby, Fridays from 9.30 to 13.30 or Seaton Park by the fountain, Fridays between 10.00 and 13.00 and also on Saturday in Victoria Park by the fountain from 11.00 to 13.00.

Loads of fantastic Aberdeen allotment grown fruit and veggies!
 

 This week we have loads of:

Marrow
Courgettes
Rhubarb
Cabbage
Potato
Lettuce

With this in mind, the Green and Orange  chef will be buying a selection of veg including courgettes to make a Courgette Savoury dish and use left over cheese, crisp breads and fresh eggs from Shetland and some bacon/ gammon pieces.  Let The oven do most of the work.

 

We have a guest David Keith from Waste and Recycling of Aberdeen City Council who has come in to describe some of what goes on at the  Waste and Recycling SUEZ plant in Altens.   View Short Video  David also explains the reasoning behind the £30 charge for collecting the garden waste to be levied in September.  Only bins displaying a permit will be collected if they are found to contain garden waste.  Find out more https://www.facebook.com/recycleforaberdeen/  or email wasteandrecycling@aberdeencity.gov.uk.

Also in the show, Brian's Good News with news stories about a Strictly Archie competition to raise funds for the Archie Foundation and a Qwikfit cycle ride to raise funds for Cancer UK.
