YEsterday I turned the last of the spuds into mash and froze four portions....it has lasted well, I guess it was about 50% PFA but with significant Sarpo Mira, Highland Burgundy and even a few Setanta's.... hopefully will be picking the Lady Christls soon.... next year I'll be putting some Rockets in the GH in February to get some really early  earlies...... If I can cut the spud gap down to three weeks then 8 portions of mash would prolly cover it..... I eat rice, pasta and pizza often enough to cover the rest....

Love red mustard but forgot to sow.  Still there was lettuce, spring onion and chard.  When did you sow your mustard?  Was it overwintered? 

[saddad]

Asparagus... again ... Tony...  ;D

sowed in modules in february in the poly, planted out a couple of weeks ago  :)
overwintered died 'cos of the -10 we got here  ;D

[galina]

Thank you manicscousers. 

Never thought of starting mustard this early.  We had -12C as the coldest and a lot of winter stuff in the greenhouse died.   All the broad leaf endive, which is usually such a mainstay of the winter garden, lettuce etc.  However, I am totally gobsmacked that a patch of lettuce made it under a homemade corrugated cloche with an old fleece on top.  This was meant to be late autumn lettuce to be harvested until Christmas, but all perished in November.  There was nothing there after the December cold, but when I came to dig that bit in March and moved the cloche and fleece,  I had a huge pleasant surprise - a good stand of strong seedling lettuces.  They possibly germinated from remaining unsprouted seeds?  Probably at around the same time your mustard did. :) 

Thank you for the advice.

[manicscousers]

had lollo rosso, radish, garlic chives and ordinary chives on a beef butty  ;D
