Week 31 - Bed DD5

Six weeks after transplanting, most of the kale and sprouting broccoli plants are fairly strong and healthy.

The Pentland Brig Kale plant is already quite big, but it does look a bit pale.

The sprouting broccoli plants are more compact but still looking healthy.

The chicory that we left at the end of the bed is getting big, but so far no one who has sampled a leaf can handle the bitterness. We will leave them to continue to grow and hopefully they will produce a blanched heart that will be more palatable.
