Today me and Evie nipped to the Lottie just to check progress and was told by another Lottie holder that our broccoli was ready. Before he had finished what he was saying I had nipped back home to get a knife and carrier bag and started to harvest. Only 10 of 30 plants were ready but as you can see there is enough to keep up going for a couple of meals.
We was told the best way to store these is to boil them approximately for 2 minutes, place them in freezing cold water, let them dry out then bag them up for the freezer.
We left the last batch of broccoli to boil the completely. Wow, not only can you see the difference but you can really taste the difference. We all loved it including Evie (cant be bad). It was great for her to be bagging it all up with me one minute at the Lottie then literally 20 minutes later eating it at home. Surely cant get any fresher than that.
We have also dug up a full row of Duke of York potatoes which we filled over a 12.5kg bag. we have already gave most of this away to friends and family - Awaiting feedback now!!!
