Todays harvest 2 parsnips & 3eggs from yesterday & today as I didn’t get back to the girls yesterday afternoon

[Candide]

I brought back 6 spindly leeks and what I thought were leeks but might well be elephant garlic I'd overlooked - leek tops but bulbous bottoms

[Odders]

Last of the parsnips today, plus 1kg of leeks, which are starting to look sad, so I'll have the rest up soon to sweat down & freeze for summer soups.
200g of mixed rocket, mizuna, mustard, spinach & grenoble red salad leaves from the greenhouse.
Oh & I found the cutworm which was stealing rocket...💀

[Candide]

One small patch of leeks looking scrawny so lifted 4.  Another small patch has chubbier ones for later.
Cavalo Nero not been as much of an asset as I'd hoped.  Only 6 of em but 4 have gone into terminal decline so brought the remaining 2 back.  Their companion cabbage didn't flourish either and been brunch for slugs.  They were under net so pigeons didn't get them.  Maybe more muck and chicken pellets plus picking earlier next time.

A small serving of tatsoi leaves from the tunnel,to add to a stir fry.

[Odders]

Last of the brussels out today & last of the leeks.
Rocket, mustard & spinach in the greenhouse showing faster growth & gave me over 200g for salad leaves.

[snowdrops]

Yesterday got the rest of the leeks up & a couple of days ago tge last 1/2 or so parsnips

[Subversive_plot]

Lettuce and tatsoi for a dinner salad.

Some today and some yesterday, but this weekend I have harvested rhubarb, kale and perpetual spinach from the plot, plus handfuls of garlic chives and fresh new lovage leaves for a rice pilaf to go with leftover chicken

Tadaa
And more to come

How much was it please? I saw rhubarb the other day I think it was 5/6 sticks for £2.70. I’d just given about 30 sticks away !

[Candide]

I'll have another look at asparagus price today but last time I had to sit down.
Picked some corn salad;  it survived the winter and has picked up quickly but fiddly to pick so doubt I'll bother again.
Got a meal off last years chard and added it to some wild garlic;  very tasty

[Hampshire Hog]

Just harvested 7 asparagus spears probably £3 plus in Waitrose HH
