If no one else knows, I'm sure @Kite_Rider Rider will confirm - she's a horticulturist genius if I remember rightly!
Ah thank you! yes they are turnips then! I think they may well be a legacy from the previous occupant and have appeared due to us clearing the far end of the veg patch - I'm still thrilled thoughLook like turnips to me. Clever you. And pic matches the one from the RHS. But I havent a clue how to link it

I hope it goes well with the zoom thing. Once it’s set up it’s easy isn’t it, I needed someone to help me though last time I used it for work. Good job mr t knows what he’s doing!Another trip to the hospital with mum this morning.
She rang the drs yesterday to make an appointment with the nurse to get her toe redressed. They only had one appointment for yesterday which i couldnt take her to as i needed to be at work. Or one for mid morning today. So we booked that. Not ideal really as i need to be at work early as its my full day. 10 minutes after she booked it. The hospital rang to say theyd got an apointment at 9.30 this morning at orthopaedics. So im now taking her to that instead. The hospital said to cancel the drs as they will have to get someone at the hospital to redress it before she can leave there.
Shes also got a zoom committee meeting this afternoon which i cant be there to set up for her, so im going to give her a quick zoom run through again shortly.
It’s great finding things after having a sort out. I’ve done the same with my wardrobe and found lots of winter things I’d forgotten about.Just went to feed the boys and whilst i was waiting for the sugar beet to soak. I decided that it was about time i cleaned up the clippers that i used 2 weeks ago to clip chunky. Theyve just been sitting on the floor of the tack room.
Putting that away lead me to start sorting the rugs that i pulled out the wardrobe the other day whilst trying to find one for chunky that wasnt leaky and had all the straps. They were piled on the floor too.
Then i found the fly sheets on the rug rail and thought, shant be using them till next summer so they need to go away.
On doing that i then found a lightweight rug, that is brand new. I think i brought it last year in the tack shop reduced, but cant remember. And there was me looking for one for chunky. Amazing what a little clear up reveals.
The tack room clear up has been on my list of jobs to do for months. Its still not as i want it but an hours sort out has created loads of space.
I need to get my poly block jump wings up from the bottom field this weekend, so i need to clear out the corner of the tack room they stand in over winter.
Wont recognise my tack room when i walk in there tomorrow.
Yeah or I could make the local dish of clapshot!Them's definitely neeps @Trewsers . Now all you need is some haggis!
Ah clapshot. When we first moved here four years ago, one of the first trips to the local village store had me collapsing into fits of laughter as we got back into the car. Because we got to the till with our lovely local beef mince, carrots and potatoes and as they keyed in the figures (no barcodes here thanks!) I was asked "that'll be clapshot for tea then won't it"? Mr trews looked non plussed and I was just about to ask them to repeat it when Mr t stepped in and asked what on earth it was (I'm far too polite to exclaim lol). They were puzzled as to why I hadn't added a nice amount of haggis from the fresh meat counter to my shopping......hehehehehee. Some people don't bother with the haggis - and still call it clapshot. I'm not keen on haggis.I thought ‘neeps’ were Swede? And what is ‘clapshot’ please @Trewsers?
Neeps are more like a ginormous swede. You should see the size of some grown local to me, they are AMAZING! I buy them for the girls and Zi - I slice them up into long slender pieces which is a labour of love (I find swede incredibly hard).I thought ‘neeps’ were Swede? And what is ‘clapshot’ please @Trewsers?
You are right according to a recipe I just found. They are swedes.I thought ‘neeps’ were Swede? And what is ‘clapshot’ please @Trewsers?
