How Does My Garden Grow?


Well, exceptionally well actually!!!

We have harvested our first radishes (nice long white ones!!) and, more excitingly (because less face it, how many radishes can you eat and who hasn't tried them in the past?!?) TURNIPS!

Now, alot of people may consider the humble turnip medieval fodder - woody turnips to stave off hunger, not a "delicious" (which seems to be the latest buzz word) delectable, gourmet meal. But I beg to differ! I love root veg - they are amazingly versatile and SO satisfying to grow. Just pick em young!!! They were lovely: I roasted them in olive oil. Yum Yum Yum!! I am going to make root veg soup tonight with the leftover veg (did some extra).
