Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year!!

Wishing everyone that read my blog the best of health for next year and may one of your dreams come true.

Well i'm done it managed to grow some veg for Christmas dinner this year. The only sad thing is that my sister can't part take in this event as I sadly lost her back in October. But please do not be glum reading this but just think enjoy life the best as you can as you never know when it will end.

Went to the allotment this morning harvested veg ready to prepare for Christmas dinner tomorrow.
Brussel sprouts are a mixed bunch really big, small & also blown ones. I've read you can stir fry the blown ones so i'm sure they will all get used somehow in our house and will be blowing well too.

One thing that did make me laugh someone said their brussels were the size of hamster balls and I have a few like that too.



Next was the parnips and the rain has done them well and i'm really pleased with the results as it took me two attempts to try and grow any. The weeds did take over at one point.

We also have picked three little savoy cabbage to have with our turkey and I think i've left about 3/4 in the ground to get a little bigger.


Hello leeks you are looking good too.


Had a little tidy up....well picked up the leaves from the brussels and some cardboard that was breaking up put it on the compost.

Have fun this Christmas time and i'll let you see the cooked results tomorrow xx
