bought at the Market yesterday. They are a bit (overstatement) lanky and one must have been laying on its side but they will come right. Once the flowers come out I will pick them and leave the lower buds to flower. They have plenty of room to spread. We used to buy our kumara from a lad at the Market and I think we will go back to that although we may well plant one or two. It was a lot of work.
Apart from that I have made a large pot of lentil and vegetable soup using the smaller kumara and baked an apple and feijoa crumble which we had for our dessert.
It is a miserable day, drizzly and cool so the fire is going.
My vegetable soups often get enhanced with lentils. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to having a bowl this evening.
DeleteWould you plant any veg to overwinter? The chrysanthemums will look good in a tub.
ReplyDeleteApple and feijoa crumble....mmmm!!
Our raised beds have brassicas, spinach chard and beetroot.

DeleteWe are praying for rain here along the south coast of England, everywhere is just so dry.
ReplyDeleteOnly a fortnight ago we were still in drought. More forecast this week and quite damp on our walk today.
