@nickthegardener.1120 Thanks Nick. I'll be looking for a recipe tomorrow for them. Swedes are better than last year's. BTW, are you joining the Giant Onion Growing Competition? Have your cosmos started flowering yet? They seem to love this weather were having. Congratulations on your sspc result 👍👍
Ha ha Steve. You haven't met me in the dark lol. Dwell on that thought lmao. will look forward to your mega taste test. I might even, get a couple of tips from you on how to cook up brussel tops 😁
@Petetrenouth No worries Pete. You've been perfecting your produce this year. There's no rush. Perhaps plan them in next year 🌱🌱🌱😁👍 plant them out mid May - early June.
Deffo 6000 pins elaine 😂 Your brussels are doing great. Someone said if you tske top off stops them blowing ? I picked sll mine couple weekends ago as wont be up for a while now and they will get eaten for sure. Love the tape idea too. Great swede elaine 👏
@traceysallotment2506 Thanks Tracey. I'm going to wait a few more days. If I see a difference in size, they will have a reprieve. If not, they're coming out. Good thing about swede, you can mash it. I think im going to portion them mushed in a Yorkshire pudding tin. We had a camper van awning and it was a pain to put together as you didn't know which bit fitted. You take the tops off to make the brussels swell and tie the stems to canes to stop them rocking as they could blow. Take care x
@allotmentjoy we had a caravan awning so know exactly what you mean. If you are still a couple after putting the awning up you can stand the test of time 😂 Have a great week ahead ❤️
@traceysallotmentNcooking ha ha ha Tracey. That is sooooo true. I remember we had spectators at the campsite, drinking beer and watching us before someone came over to help lol.
Hi Elaine some nice tops there, bet they taste great 👍. Swede look great too, plot luck soup!👌😁👍🤤

👍👍👍
Wow ❤
Great 😃👍
Thanks 😁👍
Elaine,you have a few Brussels there,when I grow them they normally all get blown ..I will have to keep trying 👍👍
Oh we eat them own one the taste is still amazing 👍👍
Thanks. I should have supported them to stop them rocking and blowing. Luckily they haven't done that yet. Keep at it, you'll get there 👍🌱
I tried a brussel raw. It was nice and crunchy. 😁🌱🍁🍂🐿
@ we have them in a kale salad with cranberries and pine nuts 😋😋
@myrustygarden Nice. Good for you 💪
Stop it, you are still scaring me 🤣🤣🤣
Great advice Elaine. I will be picking a load of my different sprout varieties for a mega taste test soon

@@allotmentjoy No real tips, Elaine, if I use them (not too insect eaten - so very seldom LOL) I just treat them like cabbage.
Not got any brussel sprouts , must have missed that memo of when to plant them 😂🌱. Good tip to mark your hoops with tape. 🧑🌾👍
