Leeks, our last veg from last year. Made bubble and squeak except with leeks and sausages. Yum.

More purple srouting broccoli!

It's just about over now - starting to sprout into pretty yellow flowers.

Why yellow when they start purple???

they are yellow because they are going to seed - its supposed to be picked before this happens

I know they are going over to seed but WHY yellow??? Of all colours I'd have thought the flowers should be pink or lilac since it's PURPLE sprouting! That seems right to my mind

Its an interesting questions as you would think the colour what remain the same, but wouldn't that mean that say Apple blossom should be red? As that is the colour the buds first display on my tree. Also the Brassica family mainly have yellow flowers, cabbage and Kale for certain. I always leave one plant to go to seed, but then forget what I have done with the seeds and have to buy some more - I really should be more organised.

Have you tried Purple Broccoli with tomato and chilli dipping sauce - with a light sprinkle of Parmesan? mmm

Nothing left to harvest now !

PSB, last of the leeks, mint and the first crop of parsley this year.  I can't believe one of my strawberry plants has flowers on it!  It is in a very sheltered spot in front of the greenhouse, but still....

I pulled some rhubarb yesterday, not sure how many sticks, possibly between ten and twenty. Had rhubarb crumble and it was delicious, very tender and sweet.
