I went out to the veg plot with the bread knife this morning and came back with two big Brussel sprouts triffids. They like firm ground and not too much nitrogen or else the sprouts blow.
They have had no cow plop or fym this year. Just a sprinkle now and again of organic chicken pellet manure. I love this stuff and you don't get a lot of weeds like you do with 'cold' manure like cow manure and all the rain has supplied us with lots of free nitrogen. Thankfully not enough to make the sprouts blow.
We had a few days of frost recently and it does help to improve the taste. I saw an advert on the telly last night for Tesco carrots for 19p. It really makes you wonder what's the point in growing your own doesn't it. You can beat the taste of fresh homegrown vegetables and we never use manmade chemical fertilizers or weed or pesticides killers on our veg plot. So I suppose it's worth growing them for that?
I would go round the bend if I didn't have a veg plot. Living in the countryside next to the sea would be very boring. Any way have a great day tomorrow and don't eat too many sprouts!
