When my kids were young I made up a now legendary (in our family at least) story that I told them at bedtime about the Potato Men….potatoes that lifted themselves out of the ground at night in our garden and how they invaded the local area….
Well, it seems that there’s a parsnip men story in the making too….caught these in the garden about to escape! (or it could just be frost heave in the course of the winter!)

Early emerging garlic
I planted garlic late (early January) this year as it froze early, but they are emerging 2-3 weeks early! The second picture is from an area with closely planted bulbils which I harvest for the shoots.
Japanese victory onion
Allium victorialis earlier this week in the garden. I harvested half of these shoots. This is an accession I received seed from Iku Kubota in Japan in December 2002.
