Week 52+5 - Bed EX6

The hardy brassicas have been unaffected by the winter frost, wind and rain, except for a few plants that are leaning a bit more.

The Thousand Headded Kale has produced a huge number of strong shoots that can be harvested and cooked whole (though they tend to be a bit tough)

This Purple Sprouting Broccoli plant had it's central flower bud harvested weeks ago and has now produced a great secondary crop of shoots.

The Gortahork Cabbage has grown very big and we harvested it today. The head was not as full and compacted on the inside as we had expected, but this might be common for this variety.

Some of the sprouts have been harvested but there are still more to eat.
