The vegetable garden for me in December is a little weak... still, a few things are growing. Here's some of the veg I've been harvesting this month.
Left/Below:Leek Musselburgh, sown in April 2012, and planted outside in June. Its been very slow to grow and not really much of a harvest at all.
Below: I'm still pulling and using carrots in December - small but tasty.

| Above: Kale 'Nero di Toscana', sown in April and planted outside in June, is still growing and producing. |
 |
| Above and Below: Carrots and Celery are still growing in the veg box. The celery had very stunted growth this year and didn 't really produce proper stalks. |
 |
| Above and below: This month I cut celery tops to add to soup - using the leaves like parsley to add flavour. |
Suppose a little veg in December is better than no veg at all.

That's a reasonable amount of vegetables for December Kelli. You've done better than we have for celery.
ReplyDeleteYou've got more than I have, and it all looks delicious. Leeks are the only thing that's left on my allotment.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a good year for Cavolo Nero, and yours looks very fine. Using the celery leaves in soup seems like a good way to make the most of what little there is. I wish I had tried growing Celeriac again in 2012, since it likes lots of water!
ReplyDeleteAustin and I really enjoyed your blog today showing your veggies. Getting any veggies in December is quite good!
ReplyDeleteYou certainly have more than I have, I have just celery, parsley and onions.
ReplyDeleteThe kale 'Nero di Toscana'looks impressive. Enjoy your meal!
Your December veg is a bonus and looks really good, considering the weather. Best wishes for a successful gardening year in 2013
ReplyDeleteJust popping by to wish you a happy new year. All the very best for 2013.
ReplyDeleteHi Kelli, wishing you a Happy New Year! I hope 2013 brings just the right amount of sunshine & rain for a great growing season! Cheers, Jenni
