Legumes?

To have a break from working in the flat, today, Lisbeth has been restocking patches of her vegetable garden with things for the winter. She planted another big patch of leeks and then moved on to plant these sprouty things shown at the bottom of the bed. I can't tell you what they are because Lisbeth doesn't know.

She bought them from one of the producteurs in the market, when buying the leeks. The man said that they were a winter vegetable and, although she couldn't work out exactly what they were, she decided to give them a go.

They look a bit cabbagey to me but we shall just have to wait and see. Whatever they are, it will make a change from leeks. It is pretty much 'leek city' down there!
