This year has given me the best PSB crops I've had. Proper sized florets from the first crop (a tray full) and about a third of a tray a week later.

My neighbour has been giving me armfuls of PSB over the garden fence as she reckons she's fed up with eating it at every meal! Not tham I'm complaining...

Cheers,
Rob ;)

My guinea pigs would love you Tim. Many years ago we had one called Chuffy & he was sex on legs after PSB. Shame really he lived with a rabbit.

Have you all tried it as a salad, lightly cooked and cooled; mix with oil and lemon juice (or vinegar) and chopped up oranges to add sweetness? I could eat that forever.

I find psb freezes very well as long as you don't keep it for more than a few weeks, by which time you're missing it again.

Oh, yes - all of that!  And it's a delight peeled & raw. And freezes well. And no one should try to keep things till Christmas. But they do!!

This is peeled for steaming tonight...........

Haven't eaten yet, again you make me feel hungry  ;D

with some Hollondaise sauce?

unbelievably their are people on our plots who haven't even touched theirs, it makes me so cross to see that sort of waste, the birds are eating most of it now and with this spell of hot weather it will be going to seed as well i guess
