broccoli, bangers and beer




Nearly all the ground is planted up at eleven pole with the purple sprouting broccoli and kale being the most recent additions tucked under a rather fetching floral net curtain. Apparently what everyone buys in the shops as broccoli is in fact calabrese which only takes 3 months to grow rather than almost a year for the real deal - it'd better be worth it.




We had two firsts this week, the first carrot which got scoffed almost the instsnt it was pulled up and the first strawberry from which we managed to restrain ourselves long enough to document the evidence.




Weary, aching and with our fingers worked to the bone etc, etc we got out the stove and cooked up a few bangers, had a couple of beers and decided job well done.

I hear in culinary circles that purple sprouting is superior to normal broccolli. I am sure i have read about having it with a bit of hollondaise.

Purple Sprouting is indeed the superior Broccolli- if you can find it... we sometimes get the locally grown stuff from a Farm Shop in Angus.

Why is it food cooked outdoors always tastes better? Those Sossies are making my mouth water....

or maybe it was the mention of beer?.....think ill go get one right now....... Cheers!
