What a beautiful colour this Romanesco broccoli is in the sunlight. |
We seem to have plenty of green vegetables to choose from at
the moment. This year I have grown Romanesco broccoli . I t develops a
beautiful big head with a vibrant yellow green colour but once cut doesn’t
develop any new shoots like the variety of broccoli I have grown in the
past. I seem to have several heads
maturing at once but they seem to last quite well on the plant and don’t suddenly
develop into flower heads. With fennel,
some chinese cabbage leaves and artichokes as well, there is more than enough
choice for the next few meals.
not so colourful in this corner of the kitchen |
This weekend I sowed a few seeds into punnets for early
spring seedlings – beetroot, rocket, pak choy, snow peas, fennel. They should be ready to plant out once the
ground dries out enough to dig over.
