Veg to come
Well, not all veg strictly speaking but I am still getting ( ridge )
cucumbers, have 20+ tomatoes still to ripen, my runner beans which gave up in late summer have decided to try again for a few more beans, and my greenhouse sweet peppers are turning red one by one. I also have left a couple of radicchio heartening up, and my Conference pears (?slim ones ) still aren't quite ripe. Parsnips need to wait for the frost, and my Savoy winter cabbages are passable for juveniles though full of slug holes. On a mysterious note I had some brassica type things come up of their own accord this summer but I don't know what they are. They have typical collard greens type leaves, but there is a single thick purple stem maybe six inches high and a further thickening at ground level, though not enough to be a swede. Above the purple stem comes a short bit of greener tissue which throws out a dozen or more stems in all directions, some are are up to 18" long. Any ideas? I didn't plant them. Andy. |
