Leeks. :)

That's the last thing I need!!!!!  :ohmy: Only just sorted the heating out by employing a new plumber who actually knew what he was doing. He did it quickly and very well. Hot radiators at long last and no leeks!!!

Oh. Sorry... :blush: I'm just a little too preoccupied with solving problems at the moment.


I plan to get to the plot tomorrow for leeks. Better flavour once the frost has been on them I think. ;)

(My leek seed will be going into trays in Fenruary....if I can find the packets!).

Parsnips and purple brussels sprouts (do they go green in water, I wonder? ???), our own carrots (from freezer) tomorrow and some broccoli... maybe even two leeks in the morning if there's time...  have a wonderful Christmas everyone. :D

happy Christmas to you all. What follows is a first for me & I'm very proud.

Today I harvested 2 cucumbers from a plant that produced 1 fruit in the summer then was very sickly but perked up in Oct,so I took it into the conservatory where it produced another fruit, then the 2 that I picked today for our breakfast & started.
