First parsnip of the year, April sown I think.

[snowdrops]

The last of the tunnel tomatoes, 1 small aubergine, sadly the other was rotting, a few green peppers & a lovely red 1, and 1 parsnip to be roasted for dinner.

Pulled one pak choi but too wet to do owt else

Picked about 3 gallons of peppers on Tuesday, mostly Corno di Toro, but also Sweet Banana, jalapeno, and Biquinho peppers as well.

 It was close to freezing that night, and at freezing on Wednesday night, so it was time for the last harvest (except for a few sheltered plants)

[Snow]

Swede, salad leaves, daikon radish and some nice big leeks

[snowdrops]

Green peppers about 8, pruned off still healthy looking plants in the tunnel mainly by mistake  :wacko.
Cleared the beetroot from the tunnel too, got given a large celeriac :

Just one red tom in GH plus 4 mild chillis.  Very wet elsewhere but managed to reach over from paths to get good bunch of chard, a tiny cabbage and 2 khol rabi

Tomatoes picked today from plants outdoors, sheltered with polythene sheet against the side of the house. There is a clothes dryer vent there, but they have made it through several freezing nights without help from that. I do put an old comforter over them on the coldest nights.

We have had nights as low as -4 C, the plants are sheltered well enough apparently!

Been to the plot today for Christmas veg 
Who says no dig doesn’t work, only thing is it was hard work getting it up out of the ground without digging, slid the spade in & tried to lever it out but still broke the root off ! Think we might only need the one Mrs Wembley  Even the smaller one right next to it was long.
Also pulled carrots & picked Brussels. I love growing veg

It was a delicious parsnip, not woody at all, although we only used the bottom half as only 2 out of the 4 of us eat it  more for me I say, although I forgot to take it to our daughter’s with us & had to come back for it  good job she’s only 5 minutes away

Wow that’s fabulous, I sorted through my last remaining ones in the conservatory and there was still a few useable ones so I had a couple with a salad on Friday. Not as flavoursome as earlier but on a par with shop bought. A first for me to have homegrown tommies this late.

Fantastic that you are still getting toms from your conservatory! Every day with home-grown produce is a blessing.

Sorry I may have misled you, they were the picked green ones leftover from the poly tunnel stored in trays in the conservatory. But still home grown

Went up the plot yesterday and brought back a couple of small celeriac ( they haven't bulked up as much as I'd hoped ) plus 6 scrawny leeks - by the time I'd trimmed them and stripped the outer layers the mite had got at, there wasn't much left.  Not much on the cavalo this year either
