sad purple sprouting broccoli. Help please
« on: October 20, 2010, 09:29 »
Hi there

I'm new to this forum (which looks great -- thank you, it's bookmarked already!) but have been growing veg for a while, though in pretty limited space. My problem is my psb which has had its roots disturbed because the raised bed surrounding it had to be rebuilt (don't ask ... ). It's gone all floppy and sad and I wondered whether there was any way of reviviing it. Because of my limited space I've only got the one plant and obviously it's too late to get any more going for next year. I feel miserable at the thought of no psb in the spring! Does anyone know of any magic potions/particular tlc that might help revivie my poor plant?

Thank you

Hi coldfingers & welcome to the forums.

I think, sadly, that in common with a lot of mature plants, PSP will not like having it's roots disturbed. Brassicas in particular hate this and like really solid soil.

I fear that you'll have to wait a further year for a harvest.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
