Harvest Monday - 7th March 2016

By Mwillis
My harvest this week comprises solely another batch of Purple Sprouting Broccoli:

Six nice chunky spears, just the right amount for a 2-person serving.

The Broccoli has done well this time. We have had a nice steady supply over a period of about two months, and there is still more to come. Which reminds me, it's nearly time to sow the seeds for next year's crop! I think I will grow three plants again. That seems like the ideal quantity for us. It will be one each of three different varieties too, to spread the harvesting period.
Our broccoli this time was served as an accompaniment to some roast Belly Pork. We like lots of veg with our meals, and that one included not only PSB, but also potatoes, celeriac, carrots and French beans. The little home-grown celeriac I showed last week went in with a bigger shop-bought one, because it was too small to make a decent serving on its own!
