What a whopper!

Sunday 8 November 2009

We needed some veg to go with our Sunday lunch (beef in ale with homegrown roast spuds) so off we all trundled to the allotment in the spitting rain! We picked some cavalo nero and Karen very kindly donated some carrots (thank you Karen!).



We also thought we should unearth some parsnips to check on their progress (now, we didn't want to be disappointed on Christmas morning did we?!). Well, we most certainly weren't let down ... the first one to see the light of day was a whopping 15 inches long! We only needed a couple to feed 4 of us!



The lettuce were still growing although we are not sure how much longer they will last unprotected. Last night was a frosty affair ... I think Winter may finally be upon us. We must cart those logs we had chopped up on the new plot back home for the fire!
