These forced rhubarb stalks are the first produce of the season, whereas these Broccoli Sprouts are the last crop from last year's sowing. That's what I call bridging the hungry gap.
The rhubard is about 2 ft long, the broccoli 4 inches.
The leeks are still going strong too.
For some reason I've been a bit remiss about sowing things this year, but all my potatoes are planted. For the record that's
Duke of York (Red)
Charlotte
Rooster
Pink Fir Apple
I meant to sow Epicure but failed to find any!
Your list of potatoes includes two of my all-time favourites, Charlotte and Pink Fir Apple. And of course PSB is practically my "signature veg", so I applaud your efforts!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mark. Your selections noted, but don't you need a dry variety for mash/roasting/baking?
DeleteAre we the only people oin the planet that doesn't have any PSB?
ReplyDeleteIt's the return of an old reliable for us.
DeleteReally vibrant looking red rhubarb! I've Maris Peer potato planted (as far as I can remember).
ReplyDeleteIt's really pink, but the camera auto adjusted back to rhubarb colour!
