  • A Giant!!!!

    And today I harvested a 1.5kg /3lb 6oz swede from my kitchen garden! Along with parsnips, sprouts, carrots and peas - yes PEAS! Only a handful but peas nevertheless. They were sown in the open ground last September 21st.



    The egg is just for comparison for you.

          Now what did I put in the soil? Orse poo, home made compost and fed the little darlings with pig poo tea occasionally. And kept watered.

              That's a football! nice one

              I am just wondering if the size affects the texture and flavour?

                  Dig the ground well, add some well rotted orse poo and water well. I also occasionally fed my mine with pig poo tea - slurrrrrrp!

                    Wow, that's a corker! I don't have luck growing swede but that's ok, I discovered I don't like them.
                    When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it.
                    If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.
