Xmasy Comestibles

In preparation for Sundays Xmas dinner (round 1) I went up to the allotment to gather in the sprouty goodness. As you can see from the picture, the sprouts haven't done badly (that's the Sunday times underneath them for scale).




The parsnips that I left in the ground also have really bulked out, and there were even a few carrots in there as well that I forgot about.



The leek plot is still there and I reckon should be coming good in about a months time. The fennel finally died off without ever bulking up into proper bulbs so it's gone on the compost heap to be recycled back into the ground.

Well, it's 36 hours till dinner time. I'd best put the sprouts on.
