Lettuce

Harvested some lettuce.

Planted out some scarlet runner bean near where I had the mouse melon.

Worm tea-ed my favourite.

Got some impressive (for me) beets maturing.

Hamburg Parsely - a taste test


Before I begin, dad dug these up early because he was amending the patch and the greens had been more than decimated by snails.


I microwaved them for about a minute and ate them, i still had a chinotto flavour in my mouth so that may have skewed the results. They were tiny, only a sample! haha...
 

Ok the ends were woody.
They taste like a weaker carrot with a peppery undertone without the spicyness and less sweet and an almost more starchy consistency, strangely getting a hint of banana though... Interesting. 

---NOTE I have never tasted parsnip other than in a soup once so it could very well taste like parsnip?
