Harvest time
I must have been doing most things right this year - been digging up lots of goodies recently! Potatoes - Edzel Blue - very nice tatties - bright purple skin and pure white inside, purple colour disappears on cooking though, bit of a disappointment there). Pink Fir Apples - so knobbly they look like Jerusalem artichokes, but lovely salad potato. (And still to dig up the main crop of Maris Pier.) Onions - all the over wintered onions are now dug up, white, red and yellow (as I can't remember their names) Garlic - got a mix of elephant and normal (welsh?) this year - all dug up also Broccoli - not much left of this either now, but been a good crop, small but very tasty (my nephew Liam says) Cauliflower - forgot I planted two small rows of this - the broccoli and Brussels sprouts covered them totally. Small but perfectly formed heads and no slug/snail or other beastie attacks to be seen! Strawberries - lots of greenery and a few tasty fruits but left them too late to pick so slugs
