The raised bed cleared in case you get lucky tonight?

I got round to digging a few of the parsnips I had planned to use over New Year today. The plan was waylaid by a neighbour giving us some of hers. These were a lot smaller and digging them was not easy, the earth is damp and hard to lift and several of them snapped off in the ground.

Currently they are finely chopped and simmering (almost steaming) in a saucepan. Likely I'll make soup with them as they were not really large enough to roast.

Has your chard from last year died off? Mine is still alive, despite snow a while back.

Daffodil garlic? I'll have to look that up; aren't daffodils supposed to be toxic?
