Veg news this week: Beetroot sale, Celery gets frost damage....

30 November 2016

 


A hard frost on Tuesday , but still only the first proper one of the season which means that pulling carrots & parsnips today has been relatively straightforward - firm ground, even if a bit frozen, is better than wet!

Martin at Ripple Farm will be strawing his organic beetroot crop  down for winter storage next week - he has a bit more than he wanted at this stage in the year, and so we have a beetroot sale for the next couple of weeks. Please note - fresh beetroot does not freeze well, but cooked beetroot does!

The one veg affected by frost so far has been celery - it wont be available this week, sorry!
