Tuesday was another very mild December day, at least the strong to gale force winds of the last week abated to produce just a very breezy day. The rain was just about holding off so we decided on a trip to the plot to harvest some vegetables for Christmas dinner.
After a few years of having a complete crop failure with sprouts we've grown this variety called Crispus, a club root resistant type, for the last couple of years with much better results.
We also managed to harvest a few more seasonal vegetables too which looked pretty good once they’d had a quick wash. The savoy at the top of the picture is Resolution another first for us this year. We’re hoping that this variety along with a variety called Wintessa are going to give us savoys to harvest over the next couple of months.

They look like what I call "Proper Veg". I'm glad you have had more success with the brassicas this year (even if the Parsnips are not so pretty!)
ReplyDeleteWe do a very tasty ugly parsnip. Not available in the shops.
Deletethat`s a lovely set of Christmas veg
ReplyDeleteThanks David - didn't even get cold picking them!
DeleteYou''ll be having a great home grown feast for Christmas dinner. Mick harvested our entire crop of parsnips today, the grand total of four. At least we've got some for Christmas dinner.
ReplyDeleteI think we have a few parsnips left but until I dig them up I'm never too sure.
DeleteThat's a good hearty selection of veg, perfect winter food. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThe veg should go down a treat with some gooseberry crumble for afters.
