It's been a while. Early September was the last visit, for a bit of a harvest. First visit since then due to injury (ribs), work (oct-Nov), snow and Christmas etc. Not as bad as I had been expecting. I went with some mind to jack it in, just have a last look and hand it over. However, as soon as I saw that there was still celeriac, kale (ye old faithful), parsnips, beets and some carrots doing ok, despite the cold and snow, I felt the urge stir again. Brought home 2 medium celeriac about 3.5 ilbs parsnip, three beets and some witloof roots for forcing at home.
Rather sad to see was the collapsed and rotting carcasses of 2 large french squash, a good size too, about a basketball. A butternut squash lay turned to orange mousse, where in September the plants had not even flowered , at least they worked. The radicchio did well, I may go back and cut off the topes, as I think they spout again. Under brown slimy leaves are some nice tight red heads.
There weeds are not that bad considering, I could probably clear most of it in a 3 decent visits.
