It's a good time of year for us Vegetable Gardeners. There are treats in store.
This PSB (above) has to be my favourite vegetable. Not only is it usually the first proper crop of the year, but it's also one of the most delicious.
It also just happens to coincide with the appearance of another favourite crop; Rhubarb. I'll have to wait a little bit longer for my first Rhubarb Crumble of the year, but it won't be long.
Here are the little darlings, blinking their eyes after having spent the winter under their forcing pot. This was their first, and very brief, view of daylight.
Meanwhile; Lady Magnon makes do with last year's plums for our Crumbles. A pretty good alternative to Rhubarb.

I Googled PSB, not having any idea what type of plant this is. It seems PSB stands for Personal Skin Beauty - So I suspect this is a plant that you are cunningly developing to sell to the billions to make billions - Proving two cunning curmudgeons in the hand aren't worth more than one cunning curmudgeon in the vegetable garden.
Purple Sprouting Broccoli. Veg' gardeners always refer to it as PSB. Sorry. The Skin Beauty comes as a result of bathing in its juice.
Mmmm the PSB looks so good. I'm just imagining it lightly steamed and generously anointed with butter...yum. Nothing better than fresh homegrown veg!
Naughty but nice.
I don't like the taste of broccoli.
You might like it 'tepid' with a vinaigrette.
Sounds like a funny way to eat a vegetable. You know I like vegetables well done and soggy. I dint think the vinagrette would work, I prefer gravy.
I keep a bag of crumble mix permanently in the freezer so that any urge for a crumble can be fulfilled at the next meal.
I love PSB too - good enough to eat on its own with creamy cheese sauce.
We're having some with vinaigrette for lunch.
Delicious any way; I've just been down to pick some more for lunch.
Bosoms' rhubarb is also doing very well indeed
I know I would sell at least 9 mother in laws for a large rhubarb crumble like my old mum used to make, nah, make it 12.
Rhubarb crumble is definitely a blokey favourite. I don't turn my nose up either.
PSB with grated cheddar and a glass of red.............Heaven!
Plum crumble...yes, please!
I first tasted rhubarb in Germany years ago, could not get use to the taste. We dont have it here.
love purple broc ....looks utterly delicious.....having already enjoyed my first rhubarb crumble the second one is well on the way.....from my tiny north London rhubarb triangle!!
You're very lucky. Have you outdoor heating or something; ours won't be ready for at least a week.
Oh that crumble looks delicious! {mouth watering here}!
It was excellent; Lady M is an expert Crumble and Tarte Tatin maker. There should be a bit left over for tonight.
Your post reminds me that I have not seen my rhubarb this year. Guess there will be no crumble for this old man.
Your produce is making my mouth water (if you don't mind me saying so!).
Didn't grow any PSB this year and we are missing it. We did however increase the rhubarb and I shall be putting some under a bin now as I see it is starting to show.Not as forward as yours tho'
