As you may remember, our sprouts this year (for the second year running) have been a total failure (sob!…), so much so that they just look like tired cabbages:
So we’ve finally admitted defeat and taken them out to see what we could salvage, if anything. In fact, once home, I have salvaged some decent looking greens and a selection of very tiny sprouts that look SO cute, LOL!! We could probably eat them raw – they are that small! Here they are on our kitchen draining board:
So it just goes to show that there’s always something you can make of disaster …
Anyway, in other news, the daffodils are going strong:
And there is a rather nice display of tulips on their way in a bed where we did NOT plant them – I blame the squirrels though it’s more likely to be my total inability to find all the bulbs when digging them up, to be honest!
Here is the harvest:
And here is the vase at home:
Have a great weekend, everyone!

It’s amazing that you have daffodils already! Over here in Vancouver, Canada, things are slow to sprout this year. It’s still quite cool and nothing much up at all. Other places are still under snow.

They look fab and the sprouts will be lovely
To be honest I’m not a great lover of a lot of veg but I love growing it and since I have been growing our own I find I enjoy it a lot more than I used to far better than shop bought and that’s a fact
And I have found that sprouts our one of the tastiest grown yourself and I’m sure yours will be lovely as well
Keep trying with the sprouts as I’m sure they will come right eventually.
All the very best
