Never too soon for xmas - the card business i do is releasing the xmas collection in July - apparently they sell out by October so will have to get ready for the xmas rush.

I can't remember if i have planted Brussels to be honest an all the labels are covered in straw so will have to dig around.

Pleased to say my sprouts, red and green, are in and growing well and finally I have a good row of parsnips germinated. We are hosting Christmas day this year, never have before, so gotta make sure the veggies are sorted!

Sprouts: truly the coffee-cream of the veg world.

(un)Luckily I love both so end up finishing everyone else's at Chrimblemoose.

BUT I'M STILL WAITING FOR SUMMER! Did I blink and miss it? Oh b*gger, well, on with making the Christmas fairies then. How long a simmer is required for the perfect sprout please? Don't know if I can bear the pong for many months though.

Shall probably forget something major as I;m so far ahead this year! ;D
