I really wasn't expecting much from the tomatoes this year after they were so stubborn and refused to ripen. I wasn't as patient as you though and just about my whole harvest was ripened on the windowsill. They came good in the end though, which is all that matters. I didn't know that tomatoes can be frozen, how will you use them? Your parsnips are looking good. I'm hoping for great things from my three.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-52259363638744645992012-12-07T10:45:13.848+00:002012-12-07T10:45:13.848+00:00No Malar - what we can't eat we give away.No Malar - what we can't eat we give away.Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-47253095209941157392012-12-07T10:44:42.389+00:002012-12-07T10:44:42.389+00:00We had real trouble with sprouts until we started ...We had real trouble with sprouts until we started growing the club root resistant variety Jules.Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-85745043589653344562012-12-07T10:25:23.182+00:002012-12-07T10:25:23.182+00:00That's excellent amount of harvest!
