Ooh yes! That looks and sounds good. What parsnips are they Sue?
ReplyDeleteThe parsnips are Gladiator, Belinda
DeleteLovely produce. That will make a fine stew!!
ReplyDeleteIt's cooking as I type, Sue
DeleteA big, hearty, warming stew with all those!
ReplyDeleteIt's smelling wonderful, Deborah
DeleteI notice that you always roughly trim and wash your produce at the plot before taking it home. Seems like a good thing to do, because presumably it saves carting veg-trimmings back to put in your compost bins, and saves taking loads of soil into your house!
ReplyDeleteThe tap is alongside the compost bays, so yes the debris is added straight to the compost. Washing most of the mud off keeps the car cleaner. When it arrives home we keep it under cover outdoors until we need it as we find that it keeps fresh for longer that way,
DeleteAbsolutely lovely. I'm very impressed at how blemish-free your carrots are. Love the look of those sprouts and the cabbage as well. A pretty good haul for February.
ReplyDeleteThere is some splitting and slug damage, CJ and the worst affected go straight to the compost heap. Not bad though for the length of time sitting in soggy soil.
DeleteWow, great harvest sue!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lou
DeleteIt's cold and snowy here, and stew sounds like just the ticket!
ReplyDeleteBitterly cold today, Dave but no snow - yet - we will enjoy the stew tonight.
DeleteWell, now I'm jealous :) Those are some gorgeous mid-winter veg.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Margaret
Deleteyour leeks and cabbage looks so healthy!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Endah
DeleteSuch a harvest! I'd love to see (and taste) the stew.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting, Susan. It;s a pity but I don't think you could make it in time for tonight's dinner.
DeleteYour carrots, leeks, and Brussels sprouts look lovely. I have never gotten beets to swell up or grow to any size but yours look amazing.
ReplyDeleteI am planning a beetroot dip with some of those Phuong
DeleteA lovely winter harvest..
ReplyDeleteThanks, Julie
DeleteBrilliant harvest Sue, I could just eat a plate of those parsnips now - roasted of course! x
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo
DeleteThat's definitely worth a trip to the plot for. You'll be eating well again.
ReplyDeleteI even managed to prune the dreaded tayberry, Jo.
DeleteA lovely winter harvest. That reminds me to get onto planting parsnip seed for our upcoming winter. I've got carrot, brassicas and onions in the ground, but not parsnips. Yet.
ReplyDeleteGlad to be able to give you a reminder, Bek. Thanks for visiting.
DeletePrecioso huerto y frutas. Saludos.
ReplyDeleteTeresa gracias y gracias por su visita.
DeleteMmmmm, creamy leek soup sounds delicious. I have never had a parsnip. I wouldn't know what to do with it. The only place I have even seen them available is at our farmers market. I only remember seeing them one time. It isn't a vegetable that is grown around here. Interesting.
