Dried: peas, haricot beans (dwarf and climbing), broad beans (from last year), quinoa
Fresh: leeks,cabbage, carrots and parsnips (mice or rats have nibbled last of beetroot)

Then there are plenty of cooking apples. Plenty still on the floor outside as well and a song thrush was weighing them up this morning and he didn't look like he intended to pay for them.
Not really any eaters left but high hopes for Jonagold doing well in future years.
Then we have raspberries, red and black currants and gooseberries in the freezer.

My Little Shop has been closed over Christmas/New Year but it had the "Open" sign up today. I have to admit that I was a little disappointed in the produce on sale - the shelves were quite bare apart from beetroot, leeks, lettuce and eggs. Plenty of frozen food and preserves but they're not the same as freshly picked.
The Shopkeeper said he hoped to be restocking soon and had placed an order for fresh tomatoes with his usual supplier.
Keep checking back, he said, you never know what will be on the shelves!!

Your shopkeeper is really keen, being open at this time of year. Mine tells me that although carrots, beetroot and chard are possibly available there are problems finding suitable staff to harvest in inclement weather conditions.

I hope this is nowt to do with Brexit.
No problem with Staff at my local shop (have to be reminded t keep their distance and wear a mask but OK otherwise).
Still got some beetroot cabbage broccoli leeks and parsnips. The big freezer is full of fruit and veg. Onions, garlic, potatoes, pumpkins, squash and jars of tomatoes in the shed.

My little shop still has the same stocks as it did in November with the addition of a few sprouts but stocks are low for parsnips.

A waste of space in my opinion, I'll have to sack her.(03-01-2021, 08:57 PM)JJB Wrote: Your shopkeeper is really keen, being open at this time of year.

Making a soup today so had a look in at the shop this morning to see what they had. Came back with a pumpkin, tomatoes, onions, garlic and carrots. Thee pumpkin too big to use all of it so chopped 3/4 up and froze.
