Harvest Monday – 2nd Feb 2015
Latest post from MARKSVEGPLOT – a blog about food and gardening in England”
My Harvest Monday posts at this time of year are a bit samey, I’m afraid. It’s Parsnips again:
These ones are “Guernsey Half-Long”. I reckon they are inappropriately named, because they are actually quite long! Maybe they just mean that one half is long (the “tails) and the other half (the “shoulder” parts) is not…?
Of course, the long thin part of the root is not really useable, and it is only the thick bits up at the top that we will eat. Still, I think if they are left whole they will roast-up nicely.
My only other harvest this week was some Parsley:
I know these were harvested last week, not this week, but I would like to show you them anyway. These are some of the Baby Leeks, in this case being braised in chicken stock, with butter and fresh Thyme – a lovely accompaniment to a roast chicken.
They were too long to fit in the pan, so they had to be chopped off!
I wish I had a more ambitious harvest to show off, but the truth is that I haven’t, so If you want to see some other harvests, you had better drop in to see what people have posted on Daphne’s Dandelions.
