Winter gardening update!

Yesterday, I biked to our allotment. I needed to cut away many black kale leaves for our vegan kale pasta dinner that we were going to eat. I will give you a winter update.

We have pulled up a lot of Jerusalem artichokes. One plant out of the 6, already gave us + 4 kg! Ooh yes. We dug up another plant, it also gave us + 4 kg! The rest of them is still in the ground. I know that we are going to leave a few of them for getting new plants later in the year. You know that we have made a plastic barrière for them before planting.

This is the left side where the courgettes & pumpkin plants grew!

We still have 2 aka 1 + 1/2 black kale plants over,…ooh yes & the leaves are still very yummy & tasty! 🙂

  1. Thumbs up for you, Sophie. You are an excellent gardener.

  2. Love your garden, Sophie. You got me psyched to begin my own in the spring. Keep it coming!

  3. It’s amazing what you can continue to grow and harvest even throughout the winter!!

  4. Inderdaad indrukwekkend wat er nu nog groeit. Onze groentetuin ligt maar triest en verlaten bij op dit moment. Misschien moeten we maar beginnen plannen voor de lente en zaaien op de vensterbanken?

  5. Very smart to make a plastic barrier before planting the Jerusalem artichoke they can take over the entire garden if not kept under control.

  6. Such a beautiful post, dear Sophie! I was just wondering what your allotment would look like in full Winter time! Beautiful & still so much to eat! yes!
