Title: What are you still harvesting?
Post by: AlaninCarlisle on December 20, 2013, 16:33
I think I'll see out the the entire winter and early spring with parsnip. beetroot, celeriac, spring onion and leek - all still in the ground.

Stored stuff includes spuds, apples, onions, shallots and garlic all of which should keep until early summer

In the ground are leeks, sprouts, parsnip and swede, plus the odd turnip. While the weather is kind they can stop - but if it gets hard we have to harvest before the wildlife gets really hungry!   Stored are spuds, onions, shallots, apples, marrow and squash.  The freezer is still packed too.

I pulled the last of the beetroot today, also got lots of leeks, parsnips and small celeriac left (anyone know how long celeriac can cope in the ground for?)

I've got some PSB almost ready and also some winter cabbages. Cauliflower plants looking a bit small but we'll see. Onions and squash left in storage plus plenty of green beans, sweetcorn, red cabbage and tomato sauce in the freezer.

Looking at that list I am quite pleased with my first year!

On the plot we have parsnips, leeks, one large swiss chard, spring cabbage.

In storage we have garlic, potatoes and a couple of what I *think* are Shark Fin somethingorother which I was given in exchange for some marrows.

Not a massive amount but we've still had a reasonable year.

Leeks, savoy cabbage, Tuscan kale with purple sprouting broccoli to look forward to in March.

The rest is in store or the freezer.   Nearly finished the onions though, which is a bit early, they didn't do so well this year.

Sorrell - it stays lovely and tender all winter, and is one of the few things you can eat without cooking this time of year.
