Not As Bad As It Looks!


Saturday was another day with some decent sunny periods. The temperature managed the mid teens, still nothing to get too excited about.

We spent the afternoon doing some more tidying up on the plot.
This bed with our old over wintering brassicas looks a complete mess with many of the old plants having gone to seed. On the positive side we have only just harvested our last of 12 cauliflowers “Jerome” from this bed . There’s also some spring cabbages that haven’t yet gone to seed which will provide some welcome fresh vegetables in the dreaded May gap.  Some white and purple sprouting broccoli are still making valiant attempts to produce some tasty spears too.

  1. It's great to be harvesting from your brassicas still. Mine were pulled up a while ago. My purple sprouting broccoli started producing really early, last year in fact, and I think it ran out of steam. On a positive note, that bed has actually been prepared for my roots so that's one thing I'm ready to go with.

  2. Our broccoli is definitely late this year and a bit disappointing in the quantity it's produced. Not looking forward to clearing this bed though!
