Purple sprouting broccoli takes the honour
We’ve been wondering whether to plant up any veg or wait until all the beds have been mucked and left fallow for the winter. The sensible thing, I’m told, is not to go rushing in but temptation got the better of us and we’ve planted Graham’s gift. Purple sprouting broccoli takes the honour of being the first veg planted in the allotment.
Three plants went in, two feet apart. What a satisfying feeling and hopefully ready for the steamer in the spring.
