    My first harvest of oca this year



    Still lots more to come, so I'm happy with the quantity - but a bit disappointed with the size. There are a couple about 2" long and not even an inch wide, but most are much smaller than that. Anyone else growing these and any tips for getting bigger tubers?

      Mine are on the small side this year. I think I remember another grape saying they had a lot of small ones as well. So don't panic

        Re Oca, I think you leave them a month after the frost has knocked down the foliage. They carry on growing in that time.

              I finally empties my potato bags and found a lovely collection of (mostly quite small) potatoes. Unfortunately the cats used them as a landing spot for jumping off the garden wall, so most of the plants got killed prematurely. But for my first try at growing Christmas potatoes I am well chuffed to have at least got some potatoes, whatever their size! Also picked some more Brussels sprouts and PSB (which I was very disappointed to discover does not stay purple when you boil it ).

                  Today I harvested a stem of sprouts and some small leeks. I'd hoped to be harvesting a big bowl of purple sprouting broccoli but seems the pigeons got there first.
                  Have now netted the tattered remains of the PSB plants, hoping they'll re-sprout.

                    This year I've been mostly arvestin snips and more snips. I might have overdone it a bit on the snips.

                    Normally I make an educated guess on how many I'm likely to eat over a 4-5 month period, somehow that figure came out as approximately 1000 whoops.

                        Today I pulled the last of my carrots, along with some turnips and curly Kale. Also unearthed some Duke of York spuds

                          Perpetual spinach!!! Everyone should grow this stuff! It was in a closed cloche that I'd forgotten about. The chickens loved it and also the kale we had left - brilliant! ��
