A new thread for a New year.

Here's last years thread for comparison: https://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/gr...vested-in-2024

All of the remaining leeks. Most of them had allium leaf miner festation on the outer leaves, but not as badly as the first ones I harvested before Christmas. The affected parts were bagged up and put in the dustbin and the good bits that weren't in tonight's risotto are in the fridge.

The last of my parsnips and some parsley from the GH.

Jerusalem artichokes today.

[Nicos]

Forgot to say kale and leeks and parsnips the other day.

[Bren In Pots]

Herbs and lettuce.

[Nicos]

The rest of the leeks. Absolutely loads of them, and not one going woody nor any sign of leek miners either! That’s a first

[Vince G]

Smallish cauliflower about the size of a large grapefruit
Some small August sown carrots although they're starting to get a bit hairy now, so are clearly keen to start growing again
Jerusalem artichokes
Cavolo nero
Last of the Radicchio although had to go a long way into it to find edible leaves

[ameno]

The last 6 betroot, and all of the remaining yacon (9 kilos or so).

I found 3 parsnips that had been hiding.

^^^^ how exciting Bren!

[Bren In Pots]

Nicos I’d dug that bed over a few weeks ago, so those parsnips must be good at hiding

9 kg of yacon, ameno. That sounds impressive. Were you pleased?

Pretty pleased.
The total crop this year came to 12kg from just 2 plants. They're very heavy cropping.
I now have about ten plants, as the crowns split apart as I dug them out. I'll have to give some away, as I only really need 3 or 4 myself...

Not sure quite what to do with it all, though, as it's not really a cooking vegetable. You eat it raw, either in salads or as a fruit substitute (it's quite sweet, with a texture like apple). Luckily it keeps well.
