    That's your purple sprouting broccoli - about a week after you should have picked and eaten it!
    Whooops - now what are the dogs getting up to?

        Looks a bit like like oilseed rape? So common in the fields these days it's becoming a bit of a weed!

        But maybe not..........just spotted the purple bits (embarassed icon)

                          Don't the raab have green florets before they flower?

                          Certainly looks like PSB to me, the photo is taken from above and I think the plant may be larger than it looks.

                          Please ignore everything I say, I make it up as I go along, not only do I generally not believe what I write, I never remember it either.

                            The "florets" on mine were so tiny that I didn't think it was ready, then the next minute the flowers opened.
