Since PSB is clearly one of my favorite vegetables, this is a significant moment for me - the culmination of 10 months of waiting.
It wasn't a lot, but when "de-constructed" it was quite sufficient for a 2-person serving. I described how I used it HERE.
On Friday, my granddaughter Lara helped me clear the final part of my Woodblocx raised bed, and we collected the last of the Parsnips:
They were mostly little "tiddlers", but there were a few good ones.
This one caused a certain amount of hilarity!
Lara proudly shows off "Ms Hairy Legs".
Lara said how much she loves the sweet smell of freshly-dug Parsnips, and I totally agree.
This photo demonstrates very clearly the difference between the two varieties I grew. "Guernsey Half-Long" is the short, fat, turnip-shaped one at the right, whereas the thicker, longer one is "Duchess".
That's all I have harvested this week. My attention has turned now to sowing. So far I have sown Chillis, Asparagus, Basil and Broad Beans.
