Still harvesting leeks sprout tops and celery .
We were a bit disappointed with the Kalettes ,I grew them from seed . They are still very small , but maybe they will get bigger as the weather improves .
My neighbours are twice the size , his were starts , probably grown in a polytunnel so they had an earlier start .
This is the first time I,ve tried growing them . I think I,ll just stick with my favourite , more reliable old Kale varieties in the future .
O.k I,ll give them a few more weeks !
My sprouts were good though , I picked lots for the freezer and now we are enjoying the last few fresh Sprout tops , they are really good !
The Leeks have been good and still lots more to come .
On my windowsill upstairs I have a pot of Leek seedlings just germinating now .
Sweet peas are also germinating which makes me feel so happy !
I,m getting ready to sow lettuces , other leaves for salads, more spring onions and tomatoes next .
Potatoes are chitting away nicely on the windowsill and I have a delivery of Onion sets on the way .
In the veg trug - the veg trug is full of spring onions, we use lots , but they are looking very battered after the big storms that we,ve had recently , I hope they will pick up again .
Hey ! Lets be happy ! .....March is nearly here !
I’ve frozen leeks and parsnips too for when we can’t get to the plot. Rather freeze them than let them rot in the soggy ground.
