At last: PURPLE SPROUTING!

Wow. Really, wow. It took so long so arrive but now it's here we'll be eating purple sprouting til we go purple.



This is only half of the purple sprouting collected from just one evening. I plan to give a load to a friend with a big car who has ferried pallets to the plot for us.

This is one of the things we planted in the corner of a friends allotment when we (Bonzo and I) were trying out the whole allotment thing. I think the arrangement worked well for both of us. They couldn't worth over the entire plot that year anyway so they offered a patch of it to us. I'm not sure it was very fair to sow 5 purple sprouting plants though, as it's monopolised alot of their space for over a year now. The flip side is that there's enough for all of us now, and then some.
