Re: Frilly sprouts

Westi I have just been on their site and unfortunatley there are a lot of seeds not in stock. Rather disappointing. Maybe we have to wait until after Christmas before they get more stock in. :!: Their sweet pea selection last year was very good.

Re: Frilly sprouts

We have used Simply Seeds for a couple of years and find them very reasonable. Particularly sweet peas. I think last year there were 40 seeds in a packet and they were really cheap.

Re: Frilly sprouts

I bought mine from Gordon Riggs as small plants, I only put them in the ground in May so they aren't so big as Monika's plants, but still have plenty of sprouts on them. Next year I am going to sow my own, though undecided where to purchase the seed from as, like Geoff has shown, there is a hugh dif...

This is amazing, I have looked through it twice just to seem more of the sculptures.

Re: Frilly sprouts

Pa they are certainly good enough for can canning, but will be eaten very soon. I think. I have just found a recipe from the Deliciously Ella's web site where she roasts sprouts and covers with cheese. I am going to look at that for the next ones. I think garlic, onions and roasted sprouts plus the ...

Re: Frilly sprouts

Up till yesterday I didn't cover these plants up, or the cavolo nero, but our neighbour complained to me yesterday about the rabbits and the pidgeons taking out his sprouts. So I covered them up yesterday. Not sure I needed to.

Frilly sprouts

We picked our first frilly sprouts today. A cross between curly kale and sprouts. We bought the plants from a garden centre in the summer, just on a whim. They are delicious. Lightly steamed they are really nice. I did take a photo but it was blurred and I couldn't post it.

Re: How to stop your nuisance calls

I had another one yesterday an indian call centre who said that they were from BT and had my name, post code and telephone number and wanted me to confirm these details. When I said I was registered with the TPS you could hear a groan down the line. I just said I was not confirming anything and to t...

Re: How to stop your nuisance calls

I agree that if you don't recognise the number don't answer, but they are getting clever now and are using a local STD code in our case 01282 when you see that you answer and they are through. We've had four calls today two automatic messages and two with live people. I even get them on my mobile. I...

Re: How to stop your nuisance calls

Sorry John I thought it would be shown on Channel 4 Sky catch up. I must admit I have never tried to watch anything on catchup but Peter has posted a link for you to watch. It was a very interesting programme and I hope it is shown again soon.
