PSB and sprouts. Rainbow chard looking good. Broad leaf cress. Cabbage, parsnips. Carrots, russioan kale. onions. Peas. Mangetout. Calebrese still producing, have fleeced some up on cold nights.
Some nasty creepy crawlie murdered my leeks. :( :(
Apparently i have onions, leeks, cabbages, sprouts, carrots and parsnips although will believe them when i see them at the moment the african marigolds and some couch grass seam to have taken over.
Been laid up for last 2 weeks with a heavy cold, sinus infection and now a chest infection so can only catch glimpses of whats outside in between frequent trips to the loo :(
On the allotment, 3 varieties of cabbage, sprouts, kale, chard, spinach, perennial salad, spring onions, Japanese onions, garlic, shallots, leeks, parsnips, carrots, beets, swede, turnips.
In the conservatory I will be overwintering my chillis, habanero, super chilli and a purple one whose name escapes me.
In the greenhouse I will be overwintering my quail. We have 23 of the beauties who aren't laying now but have moulted and have their gorgeous winter plumage. Several of the thingy birds will be joining us for Christmas dinner. :)
Sorry to hear that Cambourne7

I've got 3 kinds of winter radish, mizuna, mibuna, purple sprouting brocolli, Romanesco, shallots, onions, spring onions, garlic, leeks, salsify, scorzonera, Jerusalem artichoke, broadbeans, peas, parsley, red chard, swiss chard.
I've got some vetches as green manure as well, but that might not count! (Well we could count couch grass as well... :-\ :))
thanks hon at least the husband and Harriet have not got it so there is good news :) upright today even cooked dinner although with all the pills i do rattle when i walk :)
The worst thing is when all three of you get something so no one can really give sympathy to the ill one. Glad you're up and about!
forgot about my saffron crocus, still going but no flowers yet :)
Mine were a no show
My Saffron crocus is only just peeping through and so is my garlic, only trouble is I cant remember which is which as they are in tubs next to each other ::) Have to wait til they grow a little bigger perhaps .......... silly me for not labeling ......... yet again lol :-[ Also growing onions, kale and cabbage. (not labeled but in different tubs) ;)
This is our first year, so enthusiastic and inexperienced.....
We have some onions, garlic, purplel sprouting broccoli, cabbages, winter lettuce, chard, mixed salad leaf, and a few experimental things in the greenhouse x
Just leeks, garlic, cabbages and swedes. Sadly I had to trash a whole bed of brussel sprouts - all the sprouts had blown, probably due to over enthusiastic watering during the summer (but if there's another potential reason, I'm always grateful for advice!)
Having moved my greenhouse from a gravelled area at the back of the house to a new position which has more sun and light, I now have soil beds either side of the central path so have planted a few leftover seedlings of cavolo nero and winter leuttuce and two spare strawberry plants. The rest of the soil space has been used to plunge pots of cuttings of rosemary, yew, sarcococca and small pots of rooted twisted willow.
I have no idea whether this will turn out to be a good idea or not but they all look happy so far, as do all the other less hardy plants such as amethyst salvia cuttings and agapanthu seedlings I have sheltering in there on high shelves. We are still experiencing a drought - since mid March - and temperatures and light levels are ridiculously high for November so it hasn't been tested yet.
Weeds ;D
Just joking :P
Winter onions. Brothers growing leeks. Rest I am going to manure some time soon.
Should have added that we have celeriac, cavolo nero, broccoli, purple kale, green cabbage, Savoy cabbage, red cabbage and fartichokes in the veggie plot and some beetroot and fennel which need harvesting soon.
Gave up doing leeks, garlic and Japanese onions as the last 3 winters they have frozen to a mush.
I'm finding purple kale extrememly tough, even the baby leaves, so won't be growing that again. At the moment it's merely decorative and will end up on the compost heap in due course. I just hope we get some cavolo nero before it gets frozen to death but we've been having a drought since mid March so it's growing very slowly.

I do not know if water could have done that but I always thought sprouts had to firmend in well to prevent them blowing- even earthed up
