Last year, my attempt to grow sprouts was a complete failure - I suspect because I planted them too close together.
(As I've said before, I'm still very new to gardening. Last year was my first with a garden of my own.)
So I decided to just let them grow and see what they did. The answer, it turns out, is a rather pretty flush of bright yellow flowers atop slender stems.
I love a tasty brassica!

What do cabbage, kale, broccoli, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, collard greens & kohlrabi have in common?
If you said "they're the same species of plant, selected for different qualities", you're correct!

Had a good time at the #food #gardening workshop at #FernwoodCommunityCentre this afternoon. Coming home with a big tray of newly #sowed seeds & a bouquet of #brassica #greens to cook up.

Planted Siberian kale (known in Germany as Bremer Scheerkohl) is today.

If you see these pupae on your brassica leaves - don't get rid of them. They are braconid wasp pupae - they parasitize cabbage loopers. I put them back in the arugula patch after taking the picture. This year I will try to grow sweet alyssum to feed the adult wasps.

Bittercress is loaded with vitamin C, antioxidants, calcium, minerals, ... It is often considered as a weed. But it actually tastes like mustard greens if you eat it raw cause they all belong to the same brassica family, just like collard green and kale.

This afternoon in the C0les place, I witnessed a #fitnessguy very masculinely ripping the stem off a head of broccoli, then discarding the stem and basketting the florets.
WHO EVEN THE FUCK DOES THIS?
He saved maybe 20 cents and made the life of the poor workers more difficult because he's too stupid to understand that all parts of a #brassica are edible and nutritious.
Vandaag in het #brassica - journaal: ik maakte deze stikeenvoudige frituurspruitjes – ook zeer geschikt voor mensen die niet van spruiten maar wel van frieten houden. In plaats van de spruiten te snijden kun je er voor extra frizzle ook een harde klap op geven met een pan – altijd een fijne bezigheid (en vooral als je een hekel aan spruiten hebt dus). #Foodtoot #lockermakkelijk https://www.seriouseats.com/fried-brussels-sprouts-shallots-honey-balsamic-vinegar-recipe
