Keep those citrus trees warm and frost free by moving them into a greenhouse, polytunnel or even in your house. I’ve got a large finger lime that is quite happy outside for most of the year but now it needs to be tucked away indoors. If it’s looking particularly cold you can cover them with fleece but don’t leave it permanently on them!!🍋🍊🍋🍊

Melon murder scene! There you have it, the weird interior of the Horned Melon. It smells and tastes of grass and bananas with a slight dry texture! I’ve found turning it into jelly works as there is so many seeds to deal with otherwise!!!

Kalettes or flower sprouts! What ever you call them they are this brilliant cross between kale and brussels sprouts. The plants have little florets which I love to grill with smoked paprika and maybe some chilli oil. These plants can be grown the same as sprouts and do really well in individual pots!🥬

With everyone’s tomatoes coming to an end in the UK I hope you’ve all been using those green survivors to make lots of lovely jars filled with various concoctions! What’s your favourite mix? I’m partial to a spicy chutney or salsa🙌🌶🙌

If I wasn’t already busy enough I’ve now become a tenant farmer. Got this beauty to work on with @sdecourcy
4 acres of woodland/paddocks and It’s at least 650 years old. Go give @heliganmill a follow for some mill, wood, dog, beard and probably veg action!🌳🌲🥦🌶

Horned Melon update: it fell off! It’s looking pretty ripe but I’ve had them with a bit more orange to them so I’ll leave it a few days before I’ll try and do a video of cutting it open🤞

So now we’ve reached mid November, it’s full brassica season with cabbages like this savoy taking centre stage. Things have got little delayed and tomorrow I’m allowed back out into the world after a little Covid issue! I’m sure a weed filled garden awaits😆🥦🥬

Make sure you manage your head properly!! If you look after your PSB(purple sprouting broccoli) plant and manage it well it should produce lots of edible spears for a few months. I like to let the centre head form to a decent size and then remove it(eat it). This will force the plant to produce lots of new longer spears around it and the more you cut the more it should produce! We are farmers, forcing plants to reproduce so we can eat there young and the more we take away, the more they produce👍🥦

Everyone’s favourite kale, cavolo nero! It’s an old Italian beauty with a great taste. Blend it, fry it, turn it into pasta, I really don’t care. Just make sure you put it on your seed list for next year and grow some in your garden!🥬

Sweetcorn season is well and truly over with just a few colourful varieties drying on the plants. Sweetcorn has a very short season as the cobs tend to continue converting the sugars into starch and that sweet taste does a runner!! Don’t give up though as they are a great feed for domestic and wild birds. Just take the outer sheath off and hang them upside down👌

The nasturtiums always seem to speed up and continue to grow at this time of year. I’ll give them a strong 8/10 for effort as it’s only the first frost that stops them! Keep picking all those peppery flowers, leaves and seed pods🌱

It’s a Swede, Rutabaga, Neep.....
A solid brassica that not only likes to try and break your ankles in the field but also takes several hours to boil! It’s a vital ingredient for Cornish pasties and that’s the only way I consume it! It’s an old cross between wild cabbages and turnips and is now grown everywhere. It’s easy to grow swede’s at home in a small bed or even individual containers!🥬

Get out there and buy those orange balls of joy! Luckily most pumpkins for sale in the UK are grown here and the same applies in lots of other countries as well. Make sure you’re eating them as well as carving your favourite face into them! Finally recycle them if you can into green waste, as feed for birds and rodents or compost them at home. DON’T JUST THROW THEM IN THE BIN👍🎃👍
