OK, so I'm a bit late posting it but back in February the snow drops flowered and brought with them the anticipation of spring.
And at the end of March we started harvesting the purple sprouting broccoli, which was of course absolutely delicious. We ate this crop for lunch, quickly boiled with and topped with a poached egg and a liberal sprinkling of Cornish sea salt and coarsely cracked black pepper. So was it worth the effort of picking off the caterpillars and the space that it took up for 9 or 10 months? Corrina thinks so!
