Coloured cauliflowers are a bit easier to grow but this year we grew some good 'normal' ones so can tick that off. For a couple years though our sprouts haven't been too goood - last year we had none so are making a concerted effort this year. They are hungry feeders and like a firm soil when planted so we are trying to give them what they want!<br /><br />Hi Craig - we just about manage our five a day :)Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-5934963398818792362010-07-22T08:03:26.797+00:002010-07-22T08:03:26.797+00:00Fantastic harvest!!! :DFantastic harvest!!! :DThe Boy Ollertonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01551038094292328610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-50428222989880787892010-07-22T06:26:16.259+00:002010-07-22T06:26:16.259+00:00your cabbage looks wonderful...I am hoping with mo...your cabbage looks wonderful...I am hoping with more practice that one year I will be able to produce greens like this!!<br /><br />I have given up on peas...the pods are straggly and full of maggot so I have now stopped picking them...I think i will pull up the whole lot and try for a late crop...we had some rain but not a huge amount so not too much battering happened...whether that was a blessing or a curse remains to be seen!!allotments4you.comhttp://www.allotments4you.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-52401335429230261842010-07-21T08:49:03.683+00:002010-07-21T08:49:03.683+00:00Hi Carrie - we were delighted with the cherries as...Hi Carrie - we were delighted with the cherries as they are they first real produce from the tree - it was full of flower but we didn't expect it all to set in the keen frosts - but it did!!!!! :)<br /><br />Yes Jo the rain was torrential here.
