It was quite sunny this morning but as I was going to leave for the plotment it starting to shower. It soon cleared and I headed over with the intention only to add some veg peelings to the compost heap (a bit too wet for digging). I stayed for a little while longer though to do a spot of handweeding round the leeks. I harvested the remaining beetroot, some of which I'll give to some friends. I also spotted a couple of parsley seedings nearby that were starting to put on some growth - remnants of one of the 2 parsley plants I transplanted earlier in the year. I dug them up to plant in the border at home. Hopefully, they'll continue to put on growth and it'll be possible to harvest some over Christmas.
There are a few sprouts appearing on the Brussels in Bed 7 which is very exciting. Only on a couple of plants but that's ok. Some look to have blown a bit but I might start harvesting a few next weekend to freeze if they are good enough. The aim is have enough for Christmas dinner. Fingers crossed.

Fingers crossed that you will have some of your own sprouts on your plate for Christmas, as for the blown sprouts - why don't you make a potato and sprout soup. It is one of my favourite ways to eat sprouts, disguised!
Hmm. Home grown organic produce for Christmas. Yum!
