Thoughts may be turning to Spring and the new growing season ahead, but the Winter veg bed is still providing the last of its produce.

Including this year, Salsify, a Victorian staple now out of fashion. This vegetable even featured in the Victorian classic Mrs Beeton’s Book of Household Management!

These roots pre-Christmas were a bit small and fiddly, but as they have started sprouting again post-Christmas, some real monsters have emerged, which when roasted are a bit like a Jerusalem Artichoke.
