I wait and wait and wait then give up when I realise the flower has gone straight to seed. Which happens with every brassica I've ever tried to grow over 30 years 😭.

I got that double benefit Christmas payment once (DPB). I'm thinking Ann Hercus was the welfare minister then. It was great to have extra $ but my overwhelming feeling then was happiness that someone was thinking about us.
