sprouts.........
« on: May 25, 2010, 14:46 »
ok, i need a bit of advice, i sowed some sprout seeds  in march ( i think) in pots , they are now only around 3" tall, should i bother with them or are they going to be too far behind?
im guessing they should be alot bigger by now? :blush:

If you want to be happy forever - take up gardening!

Same here, only mine are even smaller with thin spidery stems that don't want to fatten up. I've put some more down to germinate 'cos these look sick to me. Started them off too early I think. Ho hum.

...and then afterwards enjoy chopped sprout tops lightly steamed and served with a sprinkling of black pepper and a dab of butter!   (Personally  I prefer the tops to the sprouts)
