« on: December 15, 2008, 07:50 »
I realised today the 3 sprout plants i have grown from babies,protected from butterflies,watered and cared dont have long left,thier days are numbered as we are eating them Christmas day!

If you get too attached, have an extra turkey and let the sprouts live!

I'm sure that's how turkeys feel about it! :lol:

Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

It's only been asked once - on the Who's Who thread, can't remember the guess, but that was incorrect as well!

Whilst we do frequent Dorset a lot, the piccie, (this one).....



was taken in Mevagissey, Cornwall.

I've made a point of celebrating the sprout this winter.  I'll be sad to see them go.  http://growingyourownveg.blogspot.com/search/label/brassica

Sorry to tread all over the DD love in!  :D

Hi RR.

I hope so.  I've not managed too much time at the plot this weekend as the weather has been shocking.  I always manage to find something to blither about.  I'm planning at least one post about veg on the Christmas dinner table.
