I went out to the veg plot with the bread knife this morning and came back with two big Brussel sprouts triffids. They like firm ground and not too much nitrogen or else the sprouts blow.
They have had no cow plop or fym this year. Just a sprinkle now and again of organic chicken pellet manure. I love this stuff and you don't get a lot of weeds like you do with 'cold' manure like cow manure and all the rain has supplied us with lots of free nitrogen. Thankfully not enough to make the sprouts blow.
We had a few days of frost recently and it does help to improve the taste. I saw an advert on the telly last night for Tesco carrots for 19p. It really makes you wonder what's the point in growing your own doesn't it. You can beat the taste of fresh homegrown vegetables and we never use manmade chemical fertilizers or weed or pesticides killers on our veg plot. So I suppose it's worth growing them for that?
I would go round the bend if I didn't have a veg plot. Living in the countryside next to the sea would be very boring. Any way have a great day tomorrow and don't eat too many sprouts!

The point the 19p carrots in Tescos really make is why the farmer bothers to carry on growing them. They will be growing them at a loss. Believe me, Tesco will not be absorbing the special offer of 19p, they will be saying to the supplier, this is all we are going to pay you, take it or leave it. Happy Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI know what you are saying Rachel. Supermarkets are making food and drink cheaper than ever. I bought 24 cans of Guinness for twenty Euros. I use to pay thirty Euros for them. It's good for the consumer but not for the farmer or even the brewer. Happy Christmas Rachel,
ReplyDeleteI'm with Rachel on the economics. And I'm with you on the benefits of good home-grown veg. Nice sprouts. Enjoy. Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteHello Kris. Thanks for your thoughts. I won't walk past cheap vegetables or meat in a supermarket but I also like to grow some chemical free veg myself. Thanks and Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI love sprouts but 'im indoors hates the smell of them so I don't often cook them. Enjoy yours and have a great Christmas!
ReplyDeleteHi Jaycee. We steam them but you can also roast them. I love the etymology of vegetables. Apparently the Roman's grew them in Mediterranean areas. The Belgians have been growing them since the 13th century hence why they get their Brussel sprouts name. Have a great Christmas Jaycee and I hope Elfie gets lots of presents. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteNice looking sprouts, Dave. Happy Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThanks Philip. That is a compliment. Hope you have a great Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI do love a frosted sprout! They're nice wrapped with bacon rashers, drizzled with maple syrup and baked in the oven too! Happy Christmas! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Simone. Your bacon wrapped sprouts sound delicious. Thanks for the tip. Happy Christmas.
ReplyDeletelove sprouts roasted in the oven is best
ReplyDeleteWe will give them a go Sol. Thanks and have a wonderful Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI can't grow sprouts at all. Cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli and kale, no problem.
ReplyDeleteI've them, cooked until mushy then mashed with pepper and butter. Yum.
Can't wait to get on the allotment.
All the best, Dave. I enjoy your blog very much.
Hiya Christina. Sprouts love hard and well trod ground and not too much artificial nitrogen. Robinson's or Mammoth near Lancaster are well worth looking at their website or visiting them in spring. Wonderful veg plants and full of growing knowledge. Will try your recipe it sounds great. Thanks for the encouragement. Wish I could raise a pint of Thwaites to you both. Merry Christmas and thanks.
ReplyDeleteOh, my. How many dinner guests are you expecting! Have a good day tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI think there will be 5 humans for Christmas dinner and the dog and the cat will help too. I don't think they will be eating Brussels though. Happy Christmas Joanne.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your Christmas Day! We're going out for our meal this year. It's a restaurant I don't even know the name of or exactly where it is. I wonder what I will have? Probably not sprouts. We've already them two or three times, usually with carrots etc. in vegetable soup. All our veg is from local farmers weekend market.
ReplyDeleteThanks Gwil. Enjoy your restaurant meal and have a great Christmas.
ReplyDeleteSuffering from herpes is a Terrible Experience which i suffered till i meet a herbal doctor called Dr. KHAM.

ReplyDeleteI have read so much on Herpes Simplex virus. I hear of reaching clearance, I hear of no cure, I hear of recurrent lesions, poor immune system, poor diet, etc. I just do not know what to believe. I have visited many web pages that seem to sell you their version of removing or enforcing the immune system. Then I hear all the info on therapeutic vaccines as well as prophylactic vaccines and wonder how can that even help me. And I feel so worthless, Glad i came across Doctor Razor article on how to heal HSV forever. Endless Gratitude to doctor Razor for helping me get rid of my Herpes Virus. Reach him on his clinic email drrazorherbalhome@gmail.com

ReplyDeleteNATURAL HERBS AND REMEDIES FOR CURING HIV, HERPES, HPV, HSV1&2, CANCER AND DIABETES I just experienced the wonders of Dr. Kham herbs. God will continue to bless you Dr. Kham more abundantly for the good work you are doing in people's life by curing them from different types of diseases. I will keep on testifying about your good work. I was diagnosed with herpes 6 months ago and my doctor told me that there is no cure. I did not believe him and I keep my faith up hoping that one day I will be cured from this horrible disease. One day I saw a post on the Herpes Virus Blog forum about a herbal doctor called Dr. Kham on how he cures people from diseases with his herbs and I quickly contacted Dr. Kham on his email explained my problem to him and he told me not to worry that he is going to cure me and truly he prepared the cure and sent it to me through UPS and gave me instructions on how to take it. After two weeks of taking the herbal Medication, I went to my doctor for a checkup and my results showed Negative and my doctor told me that there is no trace of herpes in my body and the virus is completely gone from my body. Everybody at the clinic rejoices with me and they all ask for Dr. Kham contact. You can contact Dr. Kham on his email: dr.khamcaregiver@gmail.com or add whats-app +2348159922297 and He also have herbs medicine to cured the following diseases: [eczema], [urethra wart], [chronic problems], [Herpes], [Cancer], [Als], [Hepatitis], [Diabetes], [HPV], [Infetility/PCOS Infections] , [ulcer ETC......

ReplyDeleteI was cured of HIV with the use of natural herbs. My name is Alandre and I'm from Texas. I love herbs so much. Most times, injection and drugs are just a waste of time. I was cured, I suffered from HIV for 13 years but with the help of Dr. Mark herbal medicine, I was cured within a few weeks of drinking the herbs he sent to me through courier delivery service. This same doctor also cured my Aunty from herpes, as soon as I heard she had herpes, I quickly refer her to Dr.Mark and she was cured too after drinking his herbs.I have referred a lot of people to Dr. Mark and they were all cured from their various illness. Have you taken herbs before?. You have spent so much money on drugs,injections,surgeries etc and yet you have no good result to show for it. Contact Dr. Mark now, he is a herbalist doctor, Dr. Mark has herbs that cures Hiv, Herpes, diabetics, asthma, hepatitis, STD, cancer, chronic, etc. Contact Dr Mark through his Email address on: blessedlovetemple@gmail.com Please share the good news to other people once you are cured.
