Kitchen Garden Forum

Something to fill the winter nights.

I have been busy "disemvowelling" some of the plants you might find in a vegetable garden. All you have to do is put the vowels back. For instance, rhbrb would lead you to rhubarb. But that's a bit easy! The following list contains some common and some unusual plants. All have appeared at one time or another on the KG Forum.

How many can you identify?

Got them all except no. 2 Thinking cap on.

Think I got them all & PM'd my answers to Alan at 09:10 so everyone else has the opportunity to have a go.

No 2, the C one, is driving me insane, it's not an abbreviated one is it?

Peter got them all, but only on the second try

Well it was better than Children in Need - hope I got them right.

Well, that proved to be fairly easy. Peter got them all first, followed by Geoff. Anyone still puzzling over number 2?

Dear Alan, yes.

I even woke in the night and was trying to think what it could be.

I stiil can't get it.

Am i going to kick myself here?

I thought about occa, but doesn't that have two cc's?

I don't think i would have come up with that name.

But putting Oca into the search on this forum, i couldn't help but notice you replied to the topic, Plumpudding.

I stand corrected. I've always spelled it with two c s, but find that is the name of a berry bearing tree. I'd got the right plant though - I've had a few of the pretty pink tubers in a stir fry this week.

Thanks for the quiz

Yes, thanks for the quiz, Alan. I didn' get No 2 either and oca still didn't mean anything to me so I had to read the Wikepedia link.
