Allotments 4 All

Well all this week I have been ill and unable to go out but this afternoon I took the plunge, wrapped up warm amd went for a lottie look see.

I found 1 brave asparagus which I promptly picked and had with my dinner this evening,talk about savouring every bite. It was delish.

Lovely Jeannine.  I popped to mine before collecting the sprogs and came away with a dozen daffs, a basket full of purple sprouting and 3 huge leeks.  Very pleased indeed.

Leeks too, & some brussels. I do get envious of those with early asparagus, can't wait until it comes!

I'm amazed by the early asparagus! I don't expect a peep from mine until mid-late April, and they are an early form.

I've been collecting purple sprouting, white sprouting, cavalo nero, leeks and parsley, plus last year's garlic.

leeks, salsify and sprouts for me. It'd be even better if salsify had any taste. BORING!

I tidied the bed a little today and there are three more just breaking the surface, it is a funny start XX Jeannine

chinese leaves, mizuna and red mustard for a stir fry, lovely  ;D

It'd be even better if salsify had any taste.


well it sure doesn`t taste like an oyster-give it three years before `chefs` discover it  and wonder why it costs an arm and a leg in Supermarkets

Try something new today?-we did sunshine

Scorzonera, lots of that bland stuff left too.

Maybe theres a good reason certain veg go out of fashion.

Carrots Chard, kale, spring onions, mesculin, rocket, lettuc, lots of herbs oh and a tomato a day from the greenhouse! we were eating peas and mangetout, but the dreaded mildew took hold AGAIN!!

I'm jealous Stan, I like Salsify and can't get Scorzonera to grow for love nor money 
::)

Biscombe, now you are just being a show off.... I should know cos it takes one to know one.. Spain indeed.We have eaten lettuce, radish  from this years seeding and spring onions that overwintered in the greenhouse but that is it for me. XX Jeannine
