The swede are still growing steadily - Warmer winter?   .... I wonder when we will get the first real frost to improve the flavour.... not that I am in a huge rush.  ;)

They reported on the BBC forecast yesterday that "on this day" last year there were frosts and snow was reported across the country. With temperatures like those we are experiencing this week, it seems hard to imagine frosts coming any time soon, but of course we never know...  ::)

If the climate was warmer do you think BBQ swede would catch on!  :)

I don't see why not you know, cos it's lovely tossed in oil, sprinkled with salt and chilli pepper and roasted till it's sort of charred round the edges :lol:
So yes stick a skewer through it and do the same thing for barbie...YUM
