What veg did you use from the plot on Chrsitmas Day

[craftyslh]

My daughter refers to them as fartichokes, can't think why. Loads in the garden ready to be used this winter, I love them. Apparently by using winter savoury with them when you cook them, it reduces the flatulence, not tried it yet, but I do have some savoury growing so will try it out.

Pinto beans and chilli pepper in the chilli.

We are using at the moment, cabbage, leeks, carrots, parsnips, oca all harvested in the last week or still in the ground.

Only had celeriac and khol rabbi this year. We ran out of the other stuff, because i'm still trying to get the rest of the lottie ready for growing (lots of bindweed & couch grass etc). But i do have jerusalem artichokes. Iwasn't sure that i should mix them with brussels sprouts

[janeyo]

Just leeks - will do better next year

hoping next year after having an allotment for abput 360 days i will be able to supply quite alot of veg on christmas day.

this year we had to make do with a big box full of wonderful veg i bought from the farm shop down the road- all wonderfully tastey. Served with my home made cranberry and orange preserve and apple butter. We had some of my blackberry vinegar with the starter too.

Roll on monday when i finally get to take up residence on my allotment

i.e. the precise moment my plot is marked out on our brand spanking new allotment site in the village!!! my dad whos an architect, has the wonderful job of marking it out on monday for the parish council, with lots of willing volunteers. We have been told that as soon as our plot actually exists' its ours to fawn over. then as the week progresses our plots will be stripped of turf, then the real work can begin!

Im thinking of buying a wee bottle of bubbly to toast to the occassion.... perhaps the toast should be "heres to next christmas' veg!" as it seems its quite a few peoples goal!

oh just parsnips but they were the best tasting parsnips I have ever had. Fantastic. *proud*

[BrideXIII]

I had six perfect lil new potatoes from my xmas bucket i ate them all to myself !

[Comfreyfan]

Carrots, Swede, Parsnip and Cabbage. My first ever success with cabbages and they're stunning!

[kentvegplot]

Potatoes, onions, shallots, red cabbage, cavalo nero ,lots of leaves for Xmas tea (baby leaves of rainbow chard, pak choi, lambs lettuce, winter lettuce and radiccio).

Note to self to try growing parsnips and brussels for next year.
