Yes, I know - purple sprouting again - sorry!

But how do the farmers do it? That's an 8" pan!

My brassicas all got et by the pigeons since it turned cold while I was still struggling with the combination of school and the remains of a serious chest infection. I've kept the stumps in the hope of getting some spring greens, but no sprouts this year.

Was inspired by your earlier pic tim, not only steamed them but Kept the Water for Soup (where's that icon with the halo?)  ;)

Oh, & of course, the more often you boil potatoes in it, the thicker it gets!

Haven't had anything from my purple sprouting broccoli, but have had some small but very tasty romanesco broccoli, keep looking to see if I'm going to get some good secondary shoots, but nothing yet.

I have one rogue plant (sown by youngest) that I did not get covered and it has been pigeoned.
