Christmas lunch waits for no man though - whatever the weather - so there were parsnips & leeks to be dug out of the frozen earth, so a trip to the Hill couldn't be delayed indefinitely.
Once I'd found the parsnips under the snow, they weren't actually that difficult to dig out despite the first couple inches of soil frozen, & the leeks were easy, as they were the ones that I'd relocated a couple of weeks ago.They both tasted wonderful along with homegrown roasties with the Christmas dinner - shop carrots & Brussels sprouts this year, though.
Aim for next year - full Christmas fare from the plot.
Aside from the turkey & pigs in blankets, perhaps...
Happy Christmas Hazel. Veg frozen in the ground here but at last the snow is melting. Have a lovely holiday.
ReplyDeleteJust so brilliant to have your own veggies on Christmas day! Glad you managed to dig them up!

Greetings of the season to you too, Flum {smiles} - I'm guessing that you will have some unfrozen veg (along with fresh eggs!) for New Year?
ReplyDeleteOur Christmas lunch was excellant, Matron - how was your goose?
