A gallery of pictures of tubers and roots which were harvested in December when I had a blog-free month!
Oca (Oxalis tuberosa) harvest on 24th December 2020; I still have two varieties, a red and a yellow, grown in pots and then brought inside to tuberise (I usually grow under lights, but this year without lights I got a similar yield).

This year’s Xmas tubasmagoria, all roasted for Xmas dinner: parsnip (pastinakk), carrot (gulrot), potato (potet), Tigridia pavonia, Madeira Vine (Anredera), oca (Oxalis tuberosa) and Allium stipitatum (Persian shallot)
Roast parsnip (pastinakk) is a must for Xmas dinner, I’ve probably grown these for almost 40 years for Xmas
Nut and tuber roast has been Xmas dinner for 40 years!
