I was able to go down the veggie patch this morning and picked a cabbage, now we have had some stunning veg this season but cabbage has been a huge success for us, and this morning I picked a monster... well over 2kilos in weight ... also the caulis are now coming good, completely the wrong time of the year but we are enjoying them just the same.
I spent the morning the other day planting Jerusalem Artichokes, all part of my fresh not freezer plan for next year, I was lucky enough to be given a large pot full (thanks Ruth) and while we have a big bag chopped for soup in the freezer already, I did a few more, and froze some of the lager one for roasting too, the peel went into a pot for the dogs dinners and I planted the small ones... 65 of them!! That should ensure us plenty for next year.... and forever!
Ive weeded the onion seed beds and they seem to be doing okay... all my winter broad beans and peas are up and looking good too... so we seem set for winter.. its getting colder and now we have the new blcked in area at the bottom of the stairs in the kitchen that stops the warm all going up stairs we are really toasty...
Rik will be going into the forest today and tomorrow to top up the log shed, while Im finishing up tidying the veggie patch and making bread ...
