Latest post from MARKSVEGPLOT – a blog about food and gardening in England”

Harvests from my garden in February / early March are seldom abundant, but this week I have harvested a small quantity of some very nice things. There has been a little more Purple Sprouting Broccoli:

B4INREMOTE-aHR0cDovLzEuYnAuYmxvZ3Nwb3QuY29tLy02NlpjY1lEMnZzdy9VVEpPeG5VNW5LSS9BQUFBQUFBQXFoNC8ydThSM3lJN19VUS9zNjQwL0Jyb2Njb2xpNDgyLkpQRw==

These are in truth very small, secondary shoots. The main crop of PSB is still to come, although it is growing rapidly now.

With such a small quantity of PSB to play with, I felt I had better maximise the photo opportunity!

As well as the PSB, I have harvested my entire crop of Spring Onions:

Again, not much in terms of volume, but surprisingly good in terms of quality.

I’d say these are definitely “Salad Onions” – slim and mild-tasting, so you can eat them raw without major detriment to your breath and digestive system!

They look even better in the sunlight, don’t they?
