I have just bought some seed tattys today that say winter variety. Im after providing all the veg for this years xmas dinner. I reckon in what I have coming through I will have some leeks and parsnips. Maybe a cauli. Been v.unorganised with it all. Its hard when work and kids take 90% of my time. Then gota fit in everything I wana squeeze in. Not that I think it is different for anyone else! Thats why I have reighned in my aspirations for 2017 and just lookin at xmas dinner now. Maybe new year dinner too.

Jamie M. Mate, you can't really go wrong with any of the all year round cauliflower. If you can get plants at this time, in my opinion, it's a better bet than sowing. Having said that, I have both cabbage and purple sprouting, sown about 2 weeks ago, coming along nicely. Soon as the butterfly are gone they are going in. As regards wintering onion, go for one of the Japanese variety. They crop well and don't mind the weather. Garlic in November. Just put in anoth of beetroot, Bolthardy, for my final flourish which will hopefully make chutney for the shoot dinner. Jok.

To be honest I make lots of different chutneys. The all round one is a recipe from River Cottage which is excellent. It involves onion, courgette, green bean, cauliflower, cooking apples and sultanas. White wine vinegar , Demerara sugar, pinch of salt and a little sealed bag with black peppercorns, bay leaf and coriander. 3 hours and bingo. Secret is to leave it jarred up for a minimum of 2 weeks but better still 2 months before having a go. Very nice. Jok.

Sorry pal. Missed the subject a little. The chutney for the shoot. More or less as you described. Don't like using red onion as the sweetness already in the beetroot. Apart from that follow your head. Can't go wrong really. Jok.

Been watching this topic since it started, I don't have a lottie, just a small cottage garden, so can't compete with you lads with the veg. But anyway, this is what I have on the go.

Golden Delicious Apples.

Last one, this was just a pot waiting for some thing to be planted in it, and these grew, not planted by me, came out of the compost, and being as us gardeners are optimists, I've left it to crack on, maybe a hand full of tates, or a tom sarnie, we'll see.

Apart from this, I grow mixed sallad in 3ltr pots in my coldframe.

Well what a lovely garden. We don't, as a rule, set out fruit trees as the allotment has it's communal orchard. A few of the lads do grow berries. You'll defo be eating potatoes out of that pot. Nice post from the land of sand. Jok.

Just had another look at your post stealthy , I grow my Tom's in green house in black buckets,you got more in that garden than I have down my allotment as I never went mad as wife was supposed to been having hysterectomy .

 

I've no room for a greenhouse, the shed at the back is where the ferrets live, so I have to grow toms outside is what ever weather, but I get some thing back, so it's worth the effort. I wish I had a bigger garden. :laugh:
