I'm so envious of your runner beans, ours were a failure this year and we both love them. We have never lifted our carrots and they have always been fine, do you get a lot of really cold weather where you are?Anne Wilsonhttp://anirishalternative.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-59905899464139170962015-10-13T06:32:32.720+01:002015-10-13T06:32:32.720+01:00The secret is to use compost with a very high leve...The secret is to use compost with a very high level of organic matter - e.g. composted stable manure.Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-60402991438507451352015-10-13T04:37:27.398+01:002015-10-13T04:37:27.398+01:00Mark, how do you get your potatoes so clean?Mark, how do you get your potatoes so clean?nestkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02188277828934423568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-36736432175875035202015-10-13T04:36:34.596+01:002015-10-13T04:36:34.596+01:00Those are really interesting looking potatoes - pi...Those are really interesting looking potatoes - picture perfect!

I do like it myself, as well as radicchio, both of which are challenging to grow of course. At least they are for me!Dave @ HappyAcreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03441364543023807886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-55727923920809077882015-10-12T22:11:58.646+01:002015-10-12T22:11:58.646+01:00Some lovely end of season harvests - that endive i...Some lovely end of season harvests - that endive is beautiful! It's funny you should say that your beans are often better near the end as I've often found the opposite, where the later beans are smaller and I tend to get more tadpoles. It's probably down to the variety, I suppose.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-75028791512822133232015-10-12T19:54:30.897+01:002015-10-12T19:54:30.897+01:00I find carrots freeze very well just like broad be...I find carrots freeze very well just like broad beans.
