Brussels sprouts for Winterval ?
« on: November 01, 2011, 17:13 »
Not me, but a friend is growing sprouts, they're about 18" tall & have sproutlets forming from minute up to about the size of a marble.
Is there any chance these will be ready for Christmas & what should they be fed with to help them on their way ?

Thanks

Chris

They sound just fine.

A bit of a feed (chicken poo pellets is what I use) around now won't go amiss  :D

Yes, sprinkle some chicken pellets around and remember, even the small ones are tasty and because they are home grown will be far more tasty than those in the shops.

It also depends on the variety. I'm growing 2 different ones, one which is cropping now until around that time of year, and another which should start cropping as the first lot finish and take me through to about March (with a bit of luck)
I was put on this earth to accomplish a certain number of things; right now I am so far behind I will never die.
