Today I Mostly Harvested PARSNIPS....

.... and I did that,because we've had a few frosts now, which makes them taste a lot more gorgeous. And in order to make those Parsnips INTO something for the freezer, because there are going to be many months that you can't dig them out of the ground, and dead wish that you COULD do, now is the time, like moi, to dig some of them up, and make a few gorgeous individual dishes and stick them in the freezer.

As is my want, prolly every single year, I'd like to 'BIG UP' my very favourite all time favourite chef, and few of you will have his cookery books on your shelf, but you should if you adore and grow vegetables. I've got every one of his three, and his three leave me completely gagging for the next one.
Denis Cotter. You have stolen my culinary heart, and I thank you for that.X.

I could have picked the three pods of broadies that are just about ready but decided to leave them for Madmax's tea on Friday when he won't have to fight for them.

Said broadie plants are flowering again so I am wondering how to protect them a bit so they can carry on doing what they are doing for a bit longer

Ginger

Hello, I joined the forum a year ago and then life went a bit mad so I've only just managed to log back on (had to get a password reminder) anyway, I harvested ginger today.

Bit of a long wait but it looks pretty when growing and is blooming satisfying to dip in chocolate - yum!

The unripe tomatoes that I rescued from my Draughty Dutch Greenhouse have been ripening Big Stylie of late in the warmer conservatory, and the ripe Cherry Tommies I'm lobbing whole into the freezer, on the strength of having the occasional Tomatoes-On-Toast-For-Brekkie when the snow starts to fall, sat there in my Jarmies, so that I can remind myself of just WHY it is that I grow quite so much stuff in the summer .

The larger tomatoes, as they ripen, get amalgamated into just about anything that's on the Rayburn, kind of stick one's finger in the air and of the 'wing it' cookery school.

Probably last of this batch of Rocket, has this evening got chopped into a rather lovely Catherine Mason 'Rocket Bubble'n'Squeak' recipe...... Every year I ignore her books, then kind of re-find them in the Autumn, and then bore Trousers completely stupid as to how much I adore her? Thankfully, he's a very patient man.X
