tasty little flowers

We did little to look after our purple-sprouting broccoli apart from water during the heat of last summer - no thinning out, no repair of the netting to keep the pigeons off. In fact, it seems ages since we planted it (twelve months ago), and I've hardly looked at it since the autumn. It just sat there doing nothing.

But suddenly it has tiny dark florets, and tonight we ate some - a real surprise treat. It was so sweet and tasty. Mmmm!
