Re: What are you harvesting atm?
We are also having a stupidly mild winter, there is usually nothing in at this time of the year except lettuce and over wintering alliums. We are still getting carrots, beets, celery, kale, sprouts, cabbage, psb, herbs including chives and parsley.

Just remembered I've got some scorzerona out there that I haven't even looked at...

Re: What are you harvesting atm?
Normal stuff for this time of year, like Flo I have Brussels, Leeks, Jan King Cabbages, Broccoli and white Beetroot, but also Carrots, spring Onions, just about to start the winter Lettuce and of course a few Tomatoes.

Just kale now, although there's plenty of water if anyone wants it? ;)

Re: What are you harvesting atm?
No, rain and wind doesn't bother me too much as I grow just about everything under cover.maple wrote:tony your crops haven't been affected by the rain ?
I have 2 tunnels, 2 greenhouses (soon to be three) and a conservatory.
I gave up trying to beat the elements years ago.

Re: What are you harvesting atm?
good thinking...do you need to water a lot in a warm summer ?
Re: What are you harvesting atm?
I'll let you know when we get one.maple wrote:a warm summer ?
....on the other hand, I have overhead sprinklers. Worth their weight in gold, well almost.

Re: What are you harvesting atm?
Still have kale, some brussels, perpetual spinach, winter lettuces in the greenhouse and we have 3 rows of potatoes to dig when the rain stops and the ground dries out a bit. Some spuds have regenerated with the mild conditions but will no doubt die off as soon as we get the 1st heavy frost

We still have two stalks of sprouts - can't bring myself to pick them but I expect I'll have to soon.
