Multiple Plantings

Newbie question - Can I grow anything else in between my brussel sprouts? There's a lot of space between each plant - can I grow some cabbages in there too?

Cheers

Cabbages are a no go, as these will crowd each other out. Sprouts need that extra space.

You could try a catch crop like radishes - but onece sprouts take off - they really go!

I grew lettuces between mine last year, although I did only have them for baby leaves as opposed to full blown lettuces

brahma1965 is right, once they start, they grow quickly, so whatever you grow keep it small/low

I think you meant me, but I'll let you off!

Feeling sentimental for the old days, DD?

Of course I am. I'd swap my plots to go back to rotating shift work & rolling around with drunken yobs anytime.
