2025 - What I did today

Froze more JA's,  and made a few cartons of  of soup.

Is it a good time to dig up JA's now Bren? I didn't harvest any last year so reckon there my be quite a few below ground,that's if the slugs haven't annialated them?

Vinny I usually dig mine up from December  onwards finishing around end of Feb,  they seem to start sprouting again around March.  I must be rubbish    at digging them up because I've never put any back in the ground but there's always come back again.

Yeah,they say that once you've got them,you'll always have them!  I do like to eat them and luckily I am not predisposed to the problem that gives them their common name of 'Fartichokes'!  I think mine are the old 'knobbly' variety but they seem to have bred this out of the newer variwties which are smoother and easier to peel, if you so wiah?
