I did at least get another batch of Brussels sprouts. Here they are in their "just picked" state:
They look pretty scruffy like that! Any damaged or yellowing outer leaves need to be removed, and the woody bases trimmed.
This is the same batch prepared and ready for cooking:
Here they are next to a bowl full of baby carrots from last week's crop. Together they made the ideal accompaniment to a joint of roast pork which I cooked on Saturday.
Other than the sprouts, I think the only thing I have picked (apart from a few herbs) was a very small lettuce which provided a garnish for the Smoked Duck dish I wrote about yesterday.
So that's my contribution to Harvest Monday for this week. Maybe someone else will have grown something a bit more impressive?
