Here, finally are the photos that go with the previous post. Below you can see a recent harvest and the parsnip in all it's glory!
This was almost a perfect specimen, only one straight root, and very tasty it was too. And the January King Cabbage and very fine it was!
I forgot to mention in the blog that we spent one Saturday removing an old water tank from behind the shed so that we could use the space for our enlarged leaf mould collection. The water tank, albeit rather attractive in an old metal sort of way, was extremely heavy to shift, not least because it was full of soil, but move it we did, and the wheelbarrow even survived the experience.
You can also see the new leaf mould container, which is now full to the top since our trip last weekend.
Now for some Christmas presents; the edging shears in action and the pitchfork, both in silhouette and in action at the manure heap.
And finally, the storm kettle in action. You can see the Christmas present trug with a collection of twigs for the storm kettle, and if you look carefully, the new pair of green gardening gloves!
