The Veg Co Team Grow Rudolph at Home
Whilst our Crop Manager Nick Sheppard has been busy growing fields full of Rudolph, we thought it would be good fun for the team here at the Very Very Veg Co to have a go ourselves. Over the summer months we’ve been busy cultivating our own Rudolph plants. With a hot and dry season here in Cambridgeshire, the biggest challenge was simply keeping the plants hydrated. But we did, and it was all worthwhile.
Here Veg Co colleagues Caroline and Arpi proudly present their harvest, a great result for first time growers, and something all the family can get involved in and learn from.
Our Director Gary Crickmore went even further, taking over the garden at home and planting Rudolph in every available bit of ground. With no less than 200 seed potatoes planted, Gary has emerged this side of summer with a bumper crop to last him through until next year. So far Gary and his family have enjoyed the results both baked and roasted. And with its bright red skin and white flesh, Rudolph will definitely be making a guest appearance at the Christmas Dinner table, where it will take pride of place in the vital roast potato role.
