The plants are getting visibly larger by the week!
A few chicory plants remain at the end of the bed. It does not seem that anyone is interested in harvesting them.
Each of the Thousand Headed Kale plants is about 80-90cm in diameter, and over 120cm tall.
The Red Sear Sprouting Broccoli plants continue to be eaten by caterpillars, and we keep killing them - they really should be visited more than once a week). We removed one of the weaker plants (bottom left) a few weeks ago as it was being overshadowed by the huge kale plants, and another one (top right) is quite stunted. The other two plants are doing reasonably well despite being continually eaten.
Two of the four Early Purple Sprouting Broccoli plants are doing well,and the other two are smaller and more infected by caterpillars.
The Pentland Brig plants are virtually unaffected by the caterpillars, and all four plants are doing well.
