Had the first of the cabbages today....I say had, it was picked. We haven't been able to pick them earlier as the neighbour sprayed them for flea beetle. I am watching to see if she brings us a sauerkraut barrel!




Heck! :ohmy:

A handful of foot long green beans, a good sized yellow courgette, 1.5kg Highland Burgandy Red spudolas, and a tub full of salad leaves. Yum. Chuffed to still have two planters of spudolas still to harvest too

I haven't been to the plot for a week so 3 pumpkins, 1 butternut, a huge bag of beans, 4 green and 2 yellow courgettes and a small amount of broccoli plus loads of flowers.  Am thrilled as I never thought October would be so productive  :)

Tuscan Kale and a leek. Back when discussions on nipping tops and roots I explained that our Bulgarian neighbour had insisted that we keep taking the tops off. Now we know why, the leeks over here are four feet long and thin around the girth, only one needed for the two of us. Fairly strong in flavour too. Some tomatoes and a pepper from the cellar too, for lunch.

Let me get this right tosca - you keep trimming them??  :unsure: Right through the season?

As far as we can tell, yes. Whether that is to stop soil movement in the wind i don't know, as they are so tall. The first time I saw a bunch at the market I couldn't stop staring, they were longer than our's, and all trimmed. We stopped doing our's a couple of weeks ago and the top outer growth started to peel down. Here is a pic, but what you can't tell from here is that the usable core went nearly to the top, silly picture!
