For CRISSUE

Well I never....Could you eat brussel tops on these too...
Thanks Yorks...:)))

you know Crissue, I have'nt a clue, will let you know what they taste like during the winter,

Nice but look tiny to me Yorkshire. I hope they will be ready by Christmas to be served with the Turkey. We do them although some of the family don't like them.

They should be ready for Christmas Costas, but not with Turkey, we don't eat it, none of our kids eat them, sprouts I mean

Omg..sell them! to Asda lol :)

Lol Pixie,

Or send them to mE!!!!!!!! lol i lvoe sprouts!

Me & OH too....:)))

Im not too keen on sprouts but would grow these just for their lovely puple colouring;0)

Is the flavour different to the normal variety do you know Yorks....

we are rather intrigued about these sprouts Pp, never had these sprouts before Crissue, daughter bought the seeds for us,

Will wait till Christmas for the results then...:))))

I was telling a friend about them yesterday, and she said that she had also seen Purple Cauliflowers...havn't seen those either...:)))

I have seen purple Caulis Crissue, just can't remember where,

:)))

I love sprouts but have never tried purple ones!!

will let you know what they are like once we have tried them

I'd be interested to know, probably just like the green ones?

Pretty enough to grow in the flowerbeds, Val. We have grown Bosworth sprouts this year, and they are scrumptious! Trying hard not to scoff them all before Christmas day. Ever tried them shredded and in stirfries? Maybe the kids would like them like that. They are wonderful. I can't say I've ever tried eating the tops, but I shall be giving them a go - can't let lovely crisp green brassica leaves of any sort go to waste.

I agree there G...the tops are just as flavoursome....nothing to waste except the stalk...:))

If I had to choose a favourite photo subject between flowers or veg the veg section would just slightly edge ahead, just slightly mind. Great shot of a favourite veg & nice colour.

thanks for your comments, these are actually a lot darker now the frost has been on them

That's how the flavour develops Yorks, a Brussel is not the same without a good frost, same as Parsnips....yummy..

They are the only things left growing in our vegetable garden now, Sue, those and a few bits of broccoli and a couple of leeks waiting for Christmas day. Just waiting for some decent frost......

Broad beans, sprouts and leeks here in the garden, Oh and the last cabbage

and a few last Carrots too....:)))

well done,

Then we start all over again Yorks....lol...
