Harvest Monday – 8th February 2016
Latest post from MARKSVEGPLOT – a blog about food and gardening in England”
The third and last of my PSB plants reached its peak this past week. This is “Early Purple Sprouting”.

I harvested some really fine spears from it. They are the ones on the right in this photo below:
In this next photo you can see some of the spears just before cutting:
I also harvested some more spears from the “Red Spear” plant. They are the ones at lower Right here. They are much darker than the pale “Early Purple Sprouting” ones – but still not red!
I also got another batch of Brussels Sprouts. These ones are “Cromwell”:
They are quite small, and of course the outer leaves look a bit manky, but I’m sure they will be nice when prepared for cooking.
On Saturday I pulled up the last of my container-grown Leeks, the “Apollo” ones:
All I can say is that by this year’s standard they were “not bad”. Still a lot smaller than I would have liked, but considering that they were basically leftovers, they have done all right.
This is my contribution to Harvest Monday, hosted by Dave over on Our Happy Acres, so please visit him and see what other people have been harvesting this week.
