I have PSB Rudolph cropping now. Florets a bit small at first but seem to getting bigger and more prolific the more I cut. Delicious and welcome as I've not much else cropping now.
Delicious, true!  but I had to sneak mine home and cook it when the others were out because there was only enough for one - and they came back earlier than expected and caught me red handed  ???

 :lol: :lol: You'll have to be sneakier than that!

Yes Learner,  my PSB and sprouts are now upright, healthy and producing really tasty sprouts and the PSB (3/4ft tall) is just beginning to give florets. They did fall over in the wind a couple of weeks ago but I staked/propped them up and put pigeon-proof netting over them in the nick of time. I thought the sprouts had had it but having removed the blown ones they are now looking good and the white fly is beginning to die off slightly! The rest of the brassicas have done well too. Purple kale, cooked properly is great and the savoy is good too! Not so fortunate with celeriac, have begun to dig them up and throw them on compost! Better luck next year.  :ohmy:
The less time you have, the more becomes available.
