Flower Sprouts

1sttimepiggie · Mar 1, 2011

I am always looking for sometime new to give my lot to eat, and yesterday when shopping I found a new veg to try, I am so sad, I got a bit excited, its a Flower Sprout, they are a cross between brussel sprouts and kale, they look a bit different but both my piggies and bunny, really liked them, just wondering if anyone else has tried them ?

I've seen seed for these plants in a seed catalogue, but wasn't sure whether to try growing any or not. Wish I'd bought some seed now.

Mine turned their noses up at purple brocoli to preferring the green- strange piggies.
