Love your comment, Carole 😘 No matter what happens in the world, or to each of us personally, there’s always a post on GardenTags that will make us smile or in some cases ( @scaryskates ) make us laugh out loud 🤣🤣🤣 Long may this app continue to keep us entertained, informed and together @ukgardentags 😍😍

Thank you @pelly 😘 absolutely @brightcolours queen of the hashtag and the most air miles for a meet up! Thank you @daisy-jane you are so right the flavour is so much better! @bigemrg 😂😂😂 think we may have to walk the dogs after we’ve eaten all those sprouts 💨😱 will do @hayleyaj and you 😘 and here here @jacaranda who’d have thought something we joined to catalogue our plants would have built to such a heartwarming family (complete with crazy uncles, favourite aunties and super siblings)

Couldn't resist pinching a few #sprouts off the bottom of the stalks when I was taking the yellow leaves off - never too early in the season to eat sprouts 💚💚💚

I've never been able to eat them, turn my stomach - except when I was expecting Ethan, I'd eat them raw, by the tonne!

@beckers1974 really? That's funny! I could only eat fish finger sandwiches and drink milk for 9 months! All four children have really strong teeth after all that calcium! 😂😂 so what effect has you eating sprouts had on Ethan 😂😂😂 💨
