Two cucumbers, four tomatoes, lots of radishes and spring onions - all eaten in a salad with fresh eggs from the chickens.

Well, i dug my first three parsnips today! they were huge, all of them about a foot long and about 4inches across at the top!  :ohmy: I know they taste better with a frost on them, but i didn't want them to go woody.
Also harvested a handful of my autumn raspberries, soem franch beans, more new potatos, some more beetroot, some carrots and a few more spring onions, the lat of my ready lollo rosso and a Counter lettuce too (Kos type)  and a cucumber.
Rerally pleased with this little haul, its at this time of year that you really start to see the fruits of your labour, Literarlly!!!
Kate
Always thankful for advice!

It obviously your choice, but parsnips rarely go woody until the following spring and it really is worth waiting for frosts in my opinion, both for taste and texture.

There's plenty of other choice around now and parsnips are good to have when there's little else coming in.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Bean time has now started for me!!!

Bagfull of french beans and half a bagfull of runners - meant to be stringless - we will see!!!

Some courgettes and white onions that went into a curry for tea.

As above was considering some parsnips tommorow as first time grower of these and thought they may go woody too - Might take a few to try and leave the rest until after the frosts

Wish they were grapes, they are small plums or damsons - not sure which.  There were 12 kgs in total - so Plum jam, plum butter, plum cheese and plenty of stewed plums in the freezer..
