Harvest Monday - 15th December 2014

By Mwillis
Here we are half-way through December already, with Christmas nearly upon us. Time for proper Winter veg!
Harvest Monday  - 15th December 2014
These all came out of my garden on Friday: two more beautiful Parsnips, another batch of Brussels Sprouts - and my first-ever Swede.

These two Parsnips jointly weighed 425g.

The Swede was a respectable 600g.

The Brussels Sprouts were only 180g - still enough for a 2-person serving though.

I'm also still harvesting salads - mainly endive and radicchio, with occasionally a small amount of Landcress.

At this time of year, the endives grow very slowly, and never get very big. I have quite a few of them, so I can afford to cut them when they are still small. One like this yields enough salad for a two-person serving.
