Christmas day veg?

25-06-2007, 11:44 AM

Hi Folks,

What should I be sowing now to insure veg on my plate on Christmas day?

What varieties?

We have a saying....if its not on the plot it's not going on the plate! We did really well last year, but would like to try and do better!
Thanks lots

Headfry,

I am doing/have done the following :

Already in the ground I have :

Sprouts (F1 Brigitte)
Parsnips (Albion) although not germinated well at all..
Main Crop Spuds (Cara for me)

I have already or will be soon planting for Christmas :

Curly Kale (Nero Di Toscana Precoce)
Leeks (Albana)
Swede (Ruby)
Christmas Pots (next month I believe although I've not tried before)
Purple Sprouting Broccoli (cant remember)
Cabbage (Traviata)
Carrots, although you may need to store rather than harvest at xmas.

In the Freezer :

Broad Beans
Peas

How big are your Christmas plates The above will see me through...

Also seasonal is Celeriac, Red Cabbage, Green Cabbage
