Dug up my TWO parsnips ready for Christmas dinner! I was late planting and then only had five out of two rows, but hey, I am determined to enjoy them :blink:






A neighbouring plotholder gave us some sprouts too.

had a pleasant surprise I've got swede i thought they hadn't done any-good but yes not huge but a decent size and next to the swede we have parsnip a real bonus :blink:

They will taste all the better for having grown them yourself. Enjoy!!  ;)

But you'll be trying your new rotovator soon, I should think. :D

Weeded the onions and garlic, and harvested some salad and a (tiny) cabbage that I cooked with Christmas dinner...

This morning found out, that tea bush covered with snow, but all melted by lunch time. Not much to do outside, so tried  :D to tidy up garage little bit.

Had a walk to the plot to show a relative the new plot & gave her a cabbage,she was well pleased. Also sowed Kelsae onion seeds as per tradition.Last year sowed some in Feb i think & came 2nd place in local show & a couple weighed in around 3lb mark so will try to better this this year by putting more effort in.

Withdrawal symptoms from lack of digging, sowing and planting finally got to me today. So as the day was mild, I have removed the bedding plants that finally stopped flowering last week. Then I just had to get the garden fork out and lightly fork over a 9 foot round bed in the back garden.  Feel much better now. :lol:

Nothing on mine, but I had a guided tour of Snowdrops impressive site. It's nice to meet other forum members.

It is good isn't it?  :)

Cleaned off a long long section of grape vine stems of old bark just riddled with mealy bug   :tongue2: :tongue2: :tongue2:

Wanted to sow onions but now too tired

Went to the plot to collect planks and measure my shed roof. I'm making a vertical coldframe.  The roof will dip rearwards into the shed gutter then into my collection tank..

I made the outer frame in my garage and fitted the door hinges. Now to transport it back to the plot and fit the poly carb doors and sides (from a conservatory roof).  Finished size will be 1mt square x 6' high with 4 shelves.
Now a member of the 10 Ton club.... 2013  harvested 588 Kg from 165 sq mt..

Christmas eve I went over the whole plot with the Mantis, then weeded around the onions & garlic & picked quite a few sprouts before I left.
Wanted to strim around the fruit trees but couldn't get the strimmer to work properly  :(
