So, Tell Us, What Are Ye All At In The Veg Garden?

Get some leeks in, you can buy them ready to plant. Salad stuff, over winter cabbage. if you buy the variety Duncan they will give you cabbage for Xmas even sown now. A good idea would be to plant some green manure ready to dig in that will give you plenty of nitrogen for next year. decide now where you want to plant your leeks next year and sow some broad beans there at the end of October, Aquadulce are a good over winter bean, then when they have finished next year cut the tops off and leave the roots in the ground and plant your leeks there.

Ta tiercel out of interest ,what benefit are the roots to the leeks?

The roots of legumes, beans and peas contain nodes that fix nitrogen in the soil. Leeks need more nitrogen that any other element as you do not want them to flower just grow leaves. Same with cabbage, but not broccoli or cauliflower.

Later in the year you can plant some garlic bulbs if you like garlic. The bulbs cost a bit initially but there on after you can just plant the bigger ones you harvest.

Seems quite an easy thing to grow as well

I get half a dozen duck eggs given to me every week. This week I made a mash with the yolks of the duck eggs. It was out of this world. :yes: I boiled the potatoes as normal added a little cream and rough mashed them with a fork then added the yolks of two lightly poached duck eggs, and just roughly stirred them in. Served it with runner beans and bacon. It was really, really nice I will be having that again, no problem.
