Male Logic....

Right. Pic above is of ornamental cat (yes MJB, its not real ;) ) placed thus in a logical attempt to keep f'ing birds away from brassica's. If I were a bird, I would steer well clear of it and go and attack something near a hanging pie base or cd suspended from a piece of string. But nooo, the birds up our plot must obviously subscribe to "Which Bird Deterrent" magazine as one of the eyes has been pecked out and if that wasn't enough, just to rub it in, there are two big pieces of bird shit running down its back. Still, atleast while they've attacked and defacted the porcelain cat (and made me look a bit of a tit) they've left the brassica alone. So, here's to male logic working! (in a fashion) :) 

Toms

Pic taken about 2 weeks after planting into the ground. They're massive now! But I will have to purchase a larger camera in order to photograph them ;) 

Erm, can't think of a title.

From the front on the right; Beans (thats you can't see as they never grew, hehe) parsnips (which taste very bloody lovely. I ate the ones that I thinned out. Naturally I took them home and cooked them first ) lettuce, carrots, then spring onions and red spring onions, to the right of them are the onions and shallots (nice!), then ya got the rhubarb (yuck!) and an apple tree and behind that (which I forgot to take a pic of ) is more spring onions, spring cabbage, beetroot and garlic. And the shed ;) 

Brassica

From the front; Spring Cabbage, Lettuce and Sprouts chilling at the back. Of course, this pic and that of the spuds below are a few weeks old. I just haven't had a good opportunity to update lately. Spuds taste great, as do the shallots and onions. The baby carrots I had the other night were amazing, juicy and sexy. Makes all that digging, laying of paths and cutting wood worth it! 

Spuds anyone? We sure to have a few left over :D
