January Harvest



Carrots and Jerusalem Artichokes

A quick trip to the plot for a seasonal harvest today.  This will be our first batch of artichoke soup this winter.  We pulled these leeks too:



Someone was very pleased to see a bit of earth turning:


While we were at it we cut back the autumn raspberry canes.  Then the rain came on.

    You will keep showing those carrots won’t you?

    Carrot and artichoke soup sounds good!
    I'm also continuing the music theme titles, but missed out on your Pilot song (so far!)
    Happy New Year!

      There is still plenty of January left before we get sick and tired of it....

    Those carrots look superb. Do you have any problems with carrot fly at all, or do you just have good countermeasures in place?

      One countermeasure, Darren: There is no point in growing carrots on an allotment site without thrip netting to keep the root fly off!
