We are still getting produce


Having never imagined how much produce we would get in our first year, I am even more amazed that we are still cropping in December. We have almost run out of parsnips but there are still leeks to pull and we still have a couple of heads of celery although only good for cooking now. I sowed some rocket in the greenhouse and the first cuttings were made today so we will be able to have some salad for our sandwiches. There was also a handful of sprouts and a couple of broccoli florets (too few and too small to see). We also found three potatoes that we had missed in the autumn.

Also, after the report last week re the camera, it was terminal so we made the decision that it was something that we couldn't live without, and the amount we have saved on vegetables this year covered the cost many times over. There may be more photos than usual as I am getting used to what it can do. Fantastic for close ups and much greater intensity of colour.
