Blown it

I hadn't been to the plot for a few weeks, not properly anyway.  The weather hasn't been great and it has been busy at home.  I nipped over for half an hour yesterday to check on things.

The main development was that some of the Brussels plants had obviously grown some lovely sprouts but that many of them had blown already.  I picked all the ones that were of a decent button size and took them home with 4 leeks and a cabbage.  I have blanched a handful of decent-looking tight sprouts to freeze for Christmas and cooked up a leek, potato and sprout soup with the sprouts that had exploded.  An allotment soup for all the family.  Yum!  Hopefully.
