Turnips
weighing 2.5 kg
organic vegetables are
often frowned upon as buggy and under sized
as many are that we see for sale.
Its
nothing to do with organic - more like lousy gardeners!

Potatoes
- many weighing in at 600gram
gives us more than enough
to last till the next harvest
and seed for re planting. |
and not
just one
I
once worked for a farmer who had been saving seed potatoes from the
harvest for
re planting the next season - he had been doing it for 40 years!
|
most of
the potatoes are this size
shatters the myth that we
are often told
"if seed potatoes
from the crop are used the following season
they will get progressively smaller" |
The
carrots aren't to small either - many weighing more
than 365 grams
carrots
love the cooler climate - gives them amazing
crispness and flavour
|
and as
for the beans - around 55kg!
this was from just one
pick!! |
Scarlet
Runner beans give so much - eat them green or dried for winter use or
ground and added to the bread dough - they just keep coming up in the
spring, no need to re plant. |
Peas -
well none made it to the pot - we both ate our fill
daily for 3 months - fresh raw peas mmmmmmm! |
