Brassica oleracea (Italica Group) 'Purple Sprouting'

Cute little bunching jungle of sprouting broccoli

Chucked them in here and will see what happens. They got forgotten about because I haven't been well.

Hope you re doing better now!

The seeds accidentally scooped up compost in the tray and spread everywhere are now doing well in separate pots. I'm going to have a lot of purple sprouting broccoli

Yum!! Iove this stuff

Taste even better homegrown 👩🏻‍🌾

I picked some of mine for tonight's dinner 👍🏼😀

I need to pick loads tomorrow before it goes to seed 😮☺️ @sieveheadsarah @linfoster @Cazx

It's good in a salad with caesar or ranch dressing 👍🏼😀

Sounds really nice 😋 @sieveheadsarah @linfoster

Picked some of mine last week for a warm salad with butternut squash, delicious!

I still have a few butternut squash too @jerseylily 😋

Wow, much further ahead than mine!!

I got some this year and started off thus year. Will get a nice harvest by next year

Haven't grew this since I very first grew veg years ago so this plant brings back some memories 😀 and it's so pretty 😍 #purplesproutingbroccoli

I actually just sowed mine today @kimmy01

Takes a year to give fruits don't it

Me too @ukjohnny 😀😂

And purple sprouting broccoli that was on the edge of death the other day... Planted 04/07/18 😌

😊

Doing what it should do with today's heat 😀

Some lessons learn about sowing brassica seeds this year!!! This is my 3rd batch! Done outside and look really healthy. Potted on 23/05/18 Hope its not to late 😫

😀 and 4 days later

Hopefully I won't kill these ones @linfoster 😁 no sudden heat or sudden cold and I'll be OK

(23/04/18) sown today hope I'm not to late

I planted the exact same ones yesterday 😀

From seed? @sieveheadsarah 😊

Ready in a year, tastes like popped corn, so delish!

Yep Kimmy, fingers crossed they grow!!

That's great to hear I don't feel behind now 😀 @sieveheadsarah

I also planted Peas, Cauliflower, Squash & Beetroot all straight into the raised veg patch and popped in lots of Nasturtium seeds around the edges to make it look pretty! 😀👍🏼😀

Oh peas you've just reminded me 😁 that sounds nice... Nasturtiums are great around brasicas for caterpillars @sieveheadsarah

That's good to know, I'm sure I read something about French Marigolds being good to plant with veg, can't remember why though 🤔😂🤔

Think they discourage bad pests @sieveheadsarah and me cos they stink lol but I'm growing them 😁

Ha ha, I agree with you about them stinking, last year I bought some for the first time ever and realised they're great for filling in the gaps and bulking out pots, this year I'm growing them from seed, but not the plain orange or yellow ones, I'm trying Kilimanjaro & colossus and I think one that's called honeycomb. 😀

Oh they sound nice I'm growing strawberry blond and crème bulae 😁 @sieveheadsarah

(23/04/18) Poor germinate from old seed packet sown most of the packet in greenhouse the rest can be sown detect outdoors in may....

Thank you @linfoster would you sow in the greenhouse or outside in the pot?

Thank you 😊 this has helped a lot 💚💚💚💚 @linfoster
