    Picked the first parsnips, they are a bit forked but ok. These were started in rootrainers, most were eaten by slugs so I did a second and third sowing too, most of those were also taken by slugs.

    Also picked calabrese, potatoes and a piece of horseradish to make a hot sauce for Christmas.

      The worst for me this season are sprouts, they are pea sized presently and unlikely to yield anything worth picking.

      My sprouts looked good a month ago and I got a couple of harvests but they have gone quite mouldy now, the tops and half remaining sprouts have rotted. I like growing them so will probably grow early ones next year and freeze them after the first couple of frosts.

      A rat has been chomping through my coriander and other herbs in the greenhouse. I bought a few rentokill branded traps both rat and mice and they have broken within one use. Not fit for purpose

        Interesting how different crops have suffered ill effects in different areas.
        By contrast, see pics below my sprouts and parsnips are opposite.
