Am a novice to gardening. Last year planted quite a few purple sprouting broccoli plants as it’s something we love as a quick snack or side dish - roasted or just raw in salads.
I was rather disappointed that we had no results last year until someone gently explained I’d have to wait for this spring. Lo and behold the triffid stalks are now bearing purple sprouts.
I have also been mixing leaf mulch compost with manure for the further experiments in no dig cultivation. The manure came from a local farmer and needs a little sorting as it clearly contains a lambs carcass or two and last year our dogs excavated the bones, wool and rotting fat and were very sick when they ate it. Thankfully 12 months later it appears the soft tissue has completely decomposed.
