Ooh yes! I love this thread so much - definitely want to see it start up again next year, and another person doing the same thing would be wonderful.

Hey Dan, thanks for taking the time and effort to record your progress. It has certainly enthused me, I can't wait to see what mine is like.

Well today was our final harvest day for our leeks and French beans. Here are a few photos of the final haul before the Xmas freeze.

We now have our slow cooker on with the leeks, our potatoes and onions in along with some bought celery to make a lovely soup.

The links to pics don't work?

Good job though, soup season is here alright, need to get myself started on batches for the freezer and the canner.
