People will forever tell you that harvesting veg when it is young and small will provide a tender, less fibrous taste.
Not so apparently, at least not always. We've still got some parsnips and leeks left in the soil from last season and while many people might have pulled theirs up by now, ours are still happily sitting it out. Even the mild, wet winter hasn't caused any spoil from rot or pests and although we plan to cook and freeze them over the next few days we decided to give one of the leeks a try tonight.
It's pretty big as modelled by our three year old, it had a beautiful strong smell and tasted fantastic.
