off to harvest my sprouts in the morning!!
« on: December 15, 2010, 20:03 »
havent been to my allotment for about 5 weeks!! so am assuming they are ok  :unsure: but if I dont get them tommorow for Christmas dinner I never will !I think I will get rather wet though rain forecast better than snow I suppose??
some people are like slinkys......they're really good for nothing, but they still bring a smile to your face as you push them down the stairs!!

My lovely OH had all the snips and carrots dug up today, as well as all the sprouts picked.  I havent been to the lotty in weeks either and were worried they were blown, but they are great.

All harvested veg for this year is now safely nestled down in my freezer ready for cooking on Christmas Day and Sunday Dinners. 

I've done it all,  now a nice easy Christmas Eve awaits.......YES!!!!

What's the hurry? I'm picking mine now as I need them, so they're nice and fresh. I won't pick my Christmas ones until Christmas eve.

Some people are worried they may not be able to pick them before Christmas if they leave it till later, with all the bad weather that is forecast..........lots of snow and ice on the way, especially for those in the north :(

Far to busy Christmas eve and I would rather have them on their stalk sitting in my shed than buried in the snow !!  :lol:
