With preparations for Christmas including family visits we haven’t spent too much time in the garden or on the allotment this month.  However, a lovely day today saw us down at the allotment so that we could build the next pair of raised beds, harvest the sprouts and do some general tidying up.  As we also harvested the parsnips from the garden yesterday, a photo opportunity of Christmas produce could not be avoided.  The parsnips this year are as good as any we’ve had.
