Amazingly we are still digging our Carrots from last year's spring sowing. They're no longer 'perfect', but they trim up OK. These I've just dug this morning; in the half light.
They will go into a garlic, cummin, and harissa, flavoured Lamb stew, alongside some chunky Potatoes and Butter Beans; and gently cook for about 2 hours. Rustic fare!.
What can one say yumm yumm!!!
ReplyDeleteWe've just dug up a few of last year's spring onions prior to rotovating our patch. Do you think they'll still be edible? (Yeh - OK, I'll try one and see.) Your dinner sounds delicious.
ReplyDeleteIt has been a long time since I went outside and dug up part of my dinner. Brings back lovely memories though of sunwarmed tomatoes and tender young peas.
ReplyDeleteI've just dug the last of my Leeks too.
ReplyDeleteBon Appetit!
ReplyDeleteThose are beauties! I like that you plant them on Good Friday every year.
ReplyDeleteFresh carrots from the garden are the best. Great crop there!
ReplyDeleteYour carrots look good, Cro. Ours have long gone, leeks and spuds too. I've got some rows of carrots, beetroot and new potatoes which have come through in the tunnel but a bit of a long wait yet! I hate the supermarket ones!
ReplyDeleteSee how clever Mother Nature is Cro...to leave you just enough carrots from last year until you start planting new one for this year. Your feast sounds fabulous!
