I've been pulling the marginal ones daily. My address is 867 Cedar St off of Clinton, it's a pink Victorian. I'm also the lady that grew all of the seedlings you see posted on the Fruit Exchange website in the last posting. The Wood Middle School PTA plant sale goes away May 15th, so if you didn't get a chance to see us at the Wood Flea Market and Plant Sale or Washington School's Rummage Sale, please email me at the jasmine_pta@jasminebazaar.com and I'll be happy to connect you with some organic heirloom treasures.

We also have a lot of rosemary and some of the recipes include rosemary and lemons in irresistible breads and chicken dishes.

There are oodles of trees in San Leandro and my neighborhood in Oakland that are covered in citrus. I want to knock on the doors and collect fruit. I was planning to donate some of it to the Alameda County Food Bank, do you plan to do that too? I'll give some to you too. The question is: when will I have time to do this? I'll have to pass on your kitchen session.Kristin https://www.blogger.com/profile/04323713538989288259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-210077142310859367.post-36016941546825924552009-02-16T19:27:00.000-08:002009-02-16T19:27:00.000-08:00Great idea.

I asked my list in East Oakland if anybody wanted to make marmalade from foraged lemons and I got twenty people. Eleven are coming for the date we've set, March 7, and we don't have room at the first house offered, so we're going to two locations.<BR/><BR/>Our local pastor may be letting us use the church kitchen, and another member is asking at her church. People want to learn sauerkraut next (not from forage of course)<BR/><BR/>I'm in the Laurel - BEnte alerted me to your blog. <BR/><BR/>Maybe the newspaper will help? Maybe you need to find the local email list?<BR/><BR/>Good luck!Leila Abu-Sabahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14161833022292457787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-210077142310859367.post-78374127987133763852009-02-12T12:48:00.000-08:002009-02-12T12:48:00.000-08:00I am interested in an informal version of this in ...I am interested in an informal version of this in the Laurel, Oakland; however I have to explore your links to see what's already happening. We are talking in my neighborhood of getting together to can excess fruit - make jams etc.<BR/><BR/>I will be searching Forage Oakland, and I'll stay in touch with you to find out about your canning/preserving workshops. My grandmother and mother canned back in the 70s, and I made plum jam one year which I sealed up with paraffin. Want to feel confident about preserving the jam though.<BR/><BR/>Does anybody make preserved lemons (Moroccan-style)? <BR/><BR/>My late father used to forage olives in Alameda and brine them, but he didn't really have the recipe right - he was too stubborn to research it and his memory of how to do it was like 50 years old, from his childhood; so the olives were just way too bitter. But I would like to brine olives in the fall.Leila Abu-Sabahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14161833022292457787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-210077142310859367.post-62650008305619351442009-02-06T15:36:00.000-08:002009-02-06T15:36:00.000-08:00Ooh, such a great plan!
