Bought by my niece last Friday and opening to reveal more and more colour

It’s muddy and damp outside but unseasonably mild. We have enough leeks and root vegetables to make endless soups and stews until the spring.

There was a last butternut squash waiting to be picked and turned into soup

Salad leaves and a few tomatoes from the poly tunnel will remind us of sunny days

A leek bake is ready to go into the oven later
