Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

I've had people say in the past that I'm denying myself things and must be making myself miserable but I genuinely don't like that sort of food, even as a child I remember asking mum to put less butter on my bread. Now chocolate is a totally different thing but not worked out how I can grow that successfully yet....
Oh and sorry to the OP for hijacking the thread

I've had PSB for the last 3 weeks now, and it's still coming. We eat the leaves and stalks as well, they are incredibly sweet raw (I'm impatient) and so tasty. I do like it all with a bit of butter, pepper and a few shavings of parmesan on top. Personally I'm in the 'everything's better with butter' school. I blame my parents...http://mudandgluts.com - growing fruit and veg in suburbia

So why in the hell are mine still not even close to being ready for harvest? People on here (Cumbria) who are as far north as I am (Co. Durham) say they have been harvesting for 3 weeks, yet there's still nothing even close to looking like being ready to harvest.
I'm jealous haha!

They are an over wintering variety that I plated out last July.
Says on the back of the packet that I should be harvesting throughout March and April. Here we are nearly in April and still nothing.
They've got until the end of April and they are coming out whether they are cropping or not as I need to plant my potatoes where they are at.Last edited by Scoot; 25-03-2015, 01:39 PM.

The instructions on the seed packets tend to assume people are located down south so I'd expect you to be a bit later and they are only guides. Mine should be sprouting according to the packet too but I never expect a harvest before mid April at the earliest.

My "Early Purple" didn't start until April last year and I haven't had any of this year's crop yet either. I think that even though I'm down south, stuff is slow to get going on my clay soil.
I wish it would get a move on though, I'm getting hungry. Also I'll need the plot before too long for my maincrop potatoes.

Anyone got any ideas what's the latest time you should be planting your maincrop spuds?

That's why my spuds will be following on from my roots beds, the brassicas aren't out the way in time. I go for a legumes - brassicas - roots (carrots, onions etc) - spuds, which works pretty well for me.

I grow 4 plants to feed 2 of us (and give away some to my mum) but it does depend on how often you want to eat it each week.
