Hi Jimmy

> I am sure most if not all of the seeds will sprout.

Cheers! I'm a little worried that I might of 'tamped them down' a little firmly.. time will tell :o)

> get a move on and tackle that old midden

Yep, it's certainly taking taking it's time to disappear - maybe by the summer true? It's going to have to wait the completion of the two remaining veg beds for sure.

to be continued..

> I liked the bit about your purple sprouting broccoli

Thanks. Like parsnips (great poem, btw!) they're not everyone's favourite, but I like them. Unfortunately so do our local pigeon population. Last time I visited the plot they had been at them again, and this time had damaged some of the heads beyond use (prior to this the leaves were their only target). Oh well, there's plenty more of them on the way, and I'm sure to get bored with broccoli night after night anyway :o)

Best Regards,
Tim
