There are still a few veggies growing in the garden, however, I've been a bit slack in harvesting these. I'm wondering if they'll be edible as some are looking a bit 'rough'. For example, the beetroot (left) looks a bit woody Suppose there's only one way to find out if it tastes of anything - I should pull one out and do a taste test.
Other veg growing - I've loads of kale, some Winter salad, a few spring cabbages, chard that looks past usable, tiny leeks and a few other bits and pieces.

| The Kohl Rabi looks a bit tough too. I harvested one, cut in in half and discovered something had eaten most of the inside of it! On the plus side, they're really pretty and I like seeing them in the veg plot. |

We're still harvesting beetroot which is just fine.
ReplyDeleteAppearances can be deceptive. The rough-looking beetroot is probably just fine. Might take a bit longer to cook though...
ReplyDeleteAh you are a hardy one, still poking around in your garden, while ours are all put to bed for the winter soaking up snow water and sunshine. Yes, I suppose that the red beet is probably a bit woody and tough. Perhaps you could use the juice to color your Christmas frosting. And the purple on the kohl rabi is gorgeous!
