Winter's Last Fanfare?

Purple Sprouting Broccoli - Rudolph

 This is one of four plants in the school garden.  I am surprised that it doing so well.  Last autumn an overenthusiastic child mistook it for a weed and uprooted it.  It was quite adolescent at about 18 inches high but I decided to retrieve it from the compost heap and plant it again:  brassicas are transplanted when very young so why not give it a try.  All the same I am gobsmacked that this has done best of all out of four specimens.

Some other overwinterers are also thriving in the balmy conditions

 There is some less voluminous lambs lettuce in there too.
