We did some digging in our veg patch at the weekend as well. The weather was perfect for it. Dare I think Spring has sprung? Prolly not, but hope springs eternal. We're still waiting for our purple sprouting broccoli to sprout! Lots of leaf but no broccoli. What are we doing wrong? Any ideas?? This was the first year we have grown any. Love the blog by the way. My husband thinks cooking is holding a tin in one hand and a tin opener in the other! Well done you!
The purple sprouting should be coming through soon but you can eat the leave as well, as we did at the weekend. just steam them for a couple of mins, they are full of flavour.
What a great plot for a veg patch, so wish I had a space like that to be able to grow my own fruit and veg.
ReplyDeleteOn our third year now and yes there's nothing like digging up your own vegetables!
