I dug up the main of my potatoes yesterday, and I was very pleased to see they survived underground perfectly well for more than two months, even after they lost the foliage in July to blight. I can't roast potatoes 'properly' yet so I made them into a mash.
The black (or Tuscan) kale is doing extremely well at the moment, so I picked a bunch of leaves. After months and months growing, the plants ate finally in full production.
But the purple cabbage is the revelation. It appears my clay-ish compact-ish soil is ideal for brassicas!
There are at least three more round cabbages in the ground, and the purple sprouting broccoli plants are having a second wind and producing some more shoots! So I should be eating homegrown greens ('purples' ?!) for a while yet!
Next challenge, Christmas! :-)
