| eagerly awaiting a thaw so I can get at some parsnips, jerusalem artichokes and horseradish..... still working our way through potatoes - Sarpo Mira makes wonderful mash - garlic, pumpkins & apples. Hopefully able to pick some kale & brussel sprouts tomorrow. Must finish my seed orders - yes Jim I will be ordering black russian cherry tomato seeds! |

im forever looking at those sarpo varieties and thinking about trying them but never do on account of the supposed inferior taste. after also eagerly awaiting a thaw its now raining and im loaded with cold, i'll never get down to get some of the lovely manure.
if anyone else is reading this who hasnt posted (it wont be hard i know!) click the reply button and say hello, other words would be lovely but i'll settle at a simple hello |

| just thought it worth mentioning that I grew a nice winter veg 2010/1 - Brussel sprout "Petit posy" from T&M. Didn't think much to it at the start, but really came into it's own in Jan/ Feb/ March when if netted off from the pigeons it continued to produce a great crop of mini cabbages! The sprouts don't form tight balls; they open up like tiny cabbages, lovely deep purple & green colour. Quite nice shredded finely in a salad, good in a stir fry, personally I liked then just steamed - yum. Make great bubblensqueak of course. Don't take up as much room as purple sprouting broccoli! |

| if you've had any problems with your potato crop can you take pics of the plant/ leaves and any tubers please - hoping to arrange a talk on potatoes for the winter ( as well as a "potato day") would be good to have questions, especially on diseases. |
