Managed to get down the plot for a short time this morning. What with one thing or another going on at home and with the wet weather we have been having, its been over a week since the my last visit. The ground was too wet to do any digging so I checked around the plot and greenhouses to make sure everything was still o.k. I am pleased to say that my broad beans are finally coming through, I was worried about them as they have seemed to have taken forever to come up.
The Savoy cabbages are looking great, looks like I will be having one for Christmas Day dinner, mind you half of one would be plenty the size of the bloody things. I had to remove a few of the outer leaves which were yellowing . These were disposed to the compost bin.
I harvested the remainder of my Brussels Sprouts. The stems are now hanging upside down in my shed at home drying. Although I am reasonably pleased with the sprouts I have grown this year, they do seem to have matured a bit on the early side. Whether it`s the variety or the fact I may of started them off to early I don't know, but I have been picking these for the last 5 weeks or so. Ideally I would have preferred to have them maturing around Christmas time so as to be able to continue picking through the winter.
