Once you put solar panels on a farm its at the very best going to be designated as a brownfield site after the panels need replacing. The "greens" have a very confusing agenda, first we need to plant more trees, second we need to eat more greens and less animals, third we need to cover the...

They look like Brussels sprouts, have you been cleaning out the fridge @Victoria?

Only snag with the Lidl ones is some, not all are grafted onto Rhododendron Ponticum. Some years back I thought I would try a few. Bought three white flowering, 2 reverted to mauve so binned the lot!
