                    I feel like i am showing off, but it has taken a lot of time and effort for some of these.

                    I very late planted some (below) in the polytunnel and have done very well going strong, i have to tuck them up if cold and fussing over them

                    Sweet Italian peppers,
                    Stripy aubergines,
                    Different tomatoes (sweet millions, black krim, gold rush currant and 2 others i do not know the name off.)
                    Courgettes, yesterday harvested my 3rd of my experimental winter plants.

                    Then the normal:
                    Broccoli (calabrese)
                    Cabbages (red and green)
                    leeks
                    onions & spring onions
                    swiss chard
                    spinach
                    pak choi (red and white)
                    iceberg
                    cut and come again mixes
                    rocket
                    red and green salad bowl (my favourite mixed with rocket in a salad)
                    other salad leaves
                    beetroots
                    radish (french breakfast and scarlet globe)
                    Choy suey greens will be ready in the next week or so.

                    About to have my first romanesco but taking ages along with the cauliflowers, brussels sprouts (will take quite a lot longer) PSB is still growing massive. Mangetout is flowering so hopefully soon and i might pick the first peas later on today. I have good growth on spinach beet

                    I have little baby potato plants growing in pots and a few rogue potatoes

                    I have carrots and parsnips in the ground they have been there a very long time and saving for xmas, i might pull up a few and see how they are going.

                    Broad beans are growing nicely might have some by the end of the month.

                    I have seedling to go out as well but had a bad year with my own seedings as they get to a nice height true leaves etc then they get eaten.

                    Wow now i have written it down it seems like a awful lot.
                    I grow 70% for us and 30% for the snails, then the neighbours eats them

                      At the back of my little blowaway I found a small tomato plant...where it came from, who knows. Three little green toms on it. Nothing else unfortunately.

                          as some of you said - when you write down what you have growing and ready there seems to be an awful lot of veggies. Hard work pays off

                              I wasn't sure when to dig mine up. Most things I have read is two weeks after killed by frost. We've only really had one frost here and the foliage is limp but not dead. I have taken a couple from just under the surface (they were nice fat tubers) but I didn't want to dig them all up in case there was a possibility the tubers might still be swelling. Is it worth leaving them in, do you think, or should I dig them all up?

                              And apart from the oca, the only thing I'm harvesting is leeks (which seem to be impersonating a spring onion) and Jerusalem artichokes but hope to have a lot more winter veg next year.
