  • Rocket (self seed)

    Winter allotment

    The hens continue to lay (1-2 eggs daily from the five)and also provide an alternative composting route - alternative that is to putting peelings etc on the compost heap. Kale is an excellent winter stand-by as a green veg. The rocket seeds itself, maintains its flavour, and is a useful supplement to rather insipid bought winter salads (not pictured is salad burnet from the herb bed, which grows well through the winter) The cabbage is January King - hardy and tasty, and what more can you ask forfrom a winter cabbage. The leeks have been much smaller than usual but good flavour, while the parsnips have grown to an enormous size. Why? - comments welcome.
