Parsnips as they can stay in the ground until you need them and taste better after a frost.

I haven't yet planted cabbage, kale and swede so I'm hoping its not too late for them.

Plant some succession carrots.

New potatoes for christmas day! :D

I put kale in Sue, and got turnips in, and chard. But the kale and chard arent doing a lot and the turnip greens have totally vanished.

I use a teeny bit in soup and the rest is for the chickens. Poor wee sods. And the turnip greens were for them too, but they vanished.
