This is my first time growing brassicas! I can hardly wait to see the purple and Romanesco broccoli start to form. I am also attempting to grow cauliflower and brussels sprouts but they have been alot slower. Bounty peas have produced quite well considering we only planted a small punnet full. And the joys of shucking your own fresh peas! Simply devine! Alas still not much luck with the snow peas and think I will be moving onto other varietys next season. Sugar snap peas were sown a couple of weeks ago and are coming up and trailing up their trelisis well so far so will see if we get a better harvest.
But soon I will be waving goodbye to my current veggie patch to make room for a more ‘tropical’ themed garden, much to my dismay- I have been out voted 3-1. But not to worry, the veggies will continue to grow- container style- in another location, as once you know the joys of growing your own produce there is no going back! (I just keep thinking how to squeeze in all the cucumber/pumpkin/tomato variteys I wanted to grow over summer along with an aray of chillies, capsicums, salad greens & herbs....... Where there’s a will, theres a way!
