Getting ready for Christmas

A record shot to remind me when I planted the 'spuds'. These are called 'Rocket' and should be ready for harvest in around 60-70 days. We grew them last year and they were delicious boiled with a bit of mint.
You just can’t beat fresh home grown, nicely captured record shot Dianne:)

Longing to see the trees during Christmas.

We planted Rocket but didn’t see them flower so kept them in too long….they boiled a bit mushy! Our fault!

A lovely record shot , Love how your dog is guarding the row of pots ,

They look lovely all in a row. Even got their own personal guard dog.

How exciting, wish I could grow.my own.

You’re dog looks very interested. Is he guarding or planning to eat them, I wonder?

The spuds look deep enough to be frostproof, just right for Christmas .

@happypat that’s a real pity as they hold together nicely. We have some red ones to plant (Red Rascal) and some main crop ones too. Veggies remain expensive here and we have managed all winter with our own cauliflower broccoli and cabbage but have nothing in the garden any more apart from rhubarb, parsley and the spinach in the photo.

@arthurclark yes - coming into warm spring weather here and we’ve had only about 4 light frosts this winter.

@gardencat a Labrador - probably guard them then eat them!

@dide Veggies getting expensive here too Dianne…don’t mind so much as it’s hard growing veg & crops sometimes fail we can’t get the staff to pick up either…no one seems to want to bend their backs these days!
