Harvesting and planting

More brassica plants needed planting out today but I started, out of sympathy for my neighbours, to tidy up the compost heap. I emptied the bag of hulled Broad Beans on the top and then covered the smelly kitchen waste with most of the grass cuttings heaped in front. That keeps the smell down.
Then I went to my Brassica tunnel to continue planting. When I had finished I had set out 3 rows of Brussel Sprouts, a row of Purple Sprouting and half a row of 'Kilaton' cabbages. The last I am told can be pulled up in mid-winter and hung in a cool place to store for up to a couple of months. Useful!
I then set about harvesting the crops I did not have time for yesterday. The Loganberry at the end had fruit so I stared to pick, only to discover the 'wild' raspberries growing round it were very prolific as well, once I had learned to distinguish them apart. In fact the 'wild' raspberries produced more than the transplanted ones.
I got a big picking of peas, the last of one row and the beginning of the next row. Then I uprooted a row of old Broad Beans, extracting any beans left and got enough not to have to start picking from the follow-on row.
Finally I pulled up a large 'Spring' cabbage to take home. It does not have a very dense heart but there will be plenty to eat in it.
