I wonder what you have all picked, or what you will be picking for the holiday veg, I counted eleven varieties in the box today, sll freshly dug or picked, but the spuds were a poor harvest from the wet ground, but I salvaged enough for a weeks supply or so.

Maris Piper Tatoes
Christmas Drumhead Cabbage
Sprouts
Leeks
Spring Onions
Swede
Carrots
Parsnips
Oak Leaf Salad*
Rocket*
Tomatoes* (Cherry Plum Types)

* From under glass, unheated though.

Not bad for my second full year on the plot

Thanks Herby, although I must say, my supplies are virtually exhausted now till the Kale, spring cabbage and purple sprouting ( I can't wait!!) come on a bit more. Although I think the sprouts and leeks will keep on yielding for a few more weeks.

I have everything I need for Christmas with the exception of sprouts and a cabbage so I'm happy.

I'm meeting Seedling at the plot tomorrow morning and we're on a veg collecting mission. :D
