Ok i have been a very very very bad girl.
I have utterly neglected my poor veg garden which did so well for me last year, other than to run out and pull up the odd leek or cabbage.
However i have been out there today rescuing what i can, re-poting strawberry's and giving it alittle TLC.
Now i was a total newbie last year so i have 3 questions.
First off... Kale.
I grew it from seed last year and it did fab!! it withstood the evil catapilla's far better than any of my other cabbage and it's given me lovely veggy all the way though.
Stupid question but should i be pulling it up and planting new ones?? I figure that i should be planting new ones to replace it, but is it ok to be still eating the current one? or should i pull it up and make room for something else??? (p.s i haven't harvested any for over a month so i have no idea if it even tastes ok?? will it be
)
Second Question...
Spinach Beet... ok winter came so i just left it, ignored it and expected it to die like the rest of my summer veggy's.. however when i was turning the ground over today i noticed that several plants have survived though the winter and infact pretty much look the same way as they did last year.
Is it ok to eat?? should i pull it up?? im honestly baffled that it survived all the snow!!
Purple Sprouting broccolli.
Very few of my brassica did well last year i got a couple of cauli's and abit of calabrese i was just about to pull up the purple sprouting cursing it for just siting there and not doing much when i noticed it has little purple heads. Isn't it abit late?? what do i do with it??? how big do i let the heads get? ARGH!!!
