New peas and carrots
New peas and carrots
An Easter dinner treat, new peas and carrots from the garden to go with our roast chicken.
Not that many but enough for a taster for the two of us.

You know, you can go off some people
Enjoy your dinner, they look wonderful - our peas will be out of the freezer, although the purple-sprouting and kale are still fantastic.

Re: New peas and carrots
Was that in the polytunnel? It must be pretty warm in there!

The peas are in the polytunnel but the carrots are in a mayonnaise bucket that over wintered in the conservatory and went outside about 6 weeks ago.Millymollymandy wrote:Was that in the polytunnel? It must be pretty warm in there!
I hadn't tried this variety of carrot (Mokum) before but they are thickly sown and as they are stumpy they don't even try to twiddle.
Only problem is of course, the flavour is pleasant but not outstanding ... not a patch on Amsterdam Forcing.

Re: New peas and carrots
My carrots are just peeping through and my peas are about an inch above the ground so I'll be joining you for lunch in about 10 weeks I reckon!!
