The potager shed
All in Potager
This week’s main job has been clearing a bed of Jerusalem artichokes. I didn’t plant them there. However I did plant a few in a big bin outside the old greenhouse about eight years ago . One night in a raging storm the bin was blown over and the artichokes escaped in a torrent of water - through the fence and down into the vegetable garden.
We’re expecting around 300mm of rain in the next four days. Very little has fallen since November last year but all our water storage tanks are full, so I pumped them out this morning in anticipation of a deluge. About 8000 litres have gone and now we await the storm.
Can there be anything much more delicious than early spring peas with a generous knob of salty butter? I think all vegetables are my favourites when I haven’t tasted them for nine months.
