Title: purple sprouting everywhere
Post by: ACE on March 08, 2020, 13:58:26
Not on the plot, on the pavement, I found a bonus treat under all the netting, lovely purple sprouting. Riding home and I had to pop into the Range for some seeds. They have a ridge in the road which toppled me off of my bike. Fortunately  some kind folks untangled me from the frame and then put all my veg back in the basket. A good wash and a steaming it will be alright, not like my gardening strides, which are now the height of fashion with the knees ripped out.

Bit draughty in the current weather then.

I ordered seeds from Chilterns so I can grow purple sprouting and cavolo nero as I haven't seen them here either as seeds, plugs or on sale in the supermarket or open market veggies.   Just have to wait for a good sowing day and then a few months of growing time.

Those eyes need fixing for sure!   :BangHead:  Sorry about the tumble. 

Hope today all is ok physically, bar dented pride.  Supermarket beginning with L have working trousers in stock atm if you have that on IOW.

Supermarket beginning will L has an OTT system for parking, so I don't use them. But now I have lots of baggy trousers that used to fit a couple of stone ago. A bit of bailer twine to hold them up will do the trick for gardening.

Just patched the old man's moleskins due to knee failure.  Give it a go.  They are now durable again although patch is a different colour.  But they are good for a bit longer.  :blob7:
