Been up the plot a couple of times. Today pulled most of the scrawny leeks and the undersized celeriac.
Only my second year at the plot and certain that last year's leeks were fatter; can't remember varieties this year but remember doing Bandit and Musselborough in 2023. Think I'll go for Musselborough next time.

Dug up last of the leeks yesterday. Just over 2kg & with stored spuds, they're now several litres of leek & tatie soup in the freezer.
Another 250g of flower sprouts/kalettes.
200g mixed salad leaves from the greenhouse.

Seeing a few menti9ns of getting up the last parsnips I thought it would be a good idea if I cleared the bed ???
Well I stopped at this lot, didn’t realise there were so many still, more for another day too.
Another picking of psb and last but 1 sprout stalk, some were a bit better size wise.

Some redbor kale, cavolo nero, parsnips, leeks and leaf beet.

The last of the parsnips and carrots.

3 Asparagus spears!!. Do not think they have ever been this early.

2 asparagus spears
Purple Sprouting Broccoli (there is a lot!)
A leek

1/2 the last of the leeks, psb tops from what is supposed to be spring cabbage :ohmy:

Chard, green onions from cheapo sets planted last autumn and red ones from clearance bargain sets planted a few months ago. I grew them both to have as giant ‘spring’ onions. Asparagus from the garden buried at the back :)
