Make amazing bouillon with leaves of celery | Onion and Carrot | Charles Dowding
How you can preserve the beautiful green of summer vegetable leaves. Just the leaves in this case. Harvest, dehydrate, blitz and add flavourings.
The celery is Greensleeves and I sowed it late February, transplanted 1st April with fleece over. It's been giving great harvests since June and was much improved by a lot of rain this summer. The stalks became more tender.
Nantes carrots were sown early April by Ellie from Atlanta, and not thinned.
The perennial onion is from a plant sometimes called Welsh onion.
All vegetables here are no dig, growing quickly and easily. Little time is needed for weeding thanks to the soil being undisturbed. Soil health and fertility is from an annual dose of 3 cm/an inch of home-made compost.
