Purple sprouting brocolli (PSB) questions

PSB are early ones. but there is a new strain of seeds from TM early early ones (somewere in feb onwards) I am trying. the size of netting is a very difficult to gauge. I am growing them for first year and I have 2.5 feet tall net cage.
I've seen people netting around 8 feet cane and the plant about 5 feet tall.

and my theory is you wont need netting between november-march as it is a very cold season. 

My cage was 4 ft tall and the tops of the plants were bent over under the tops by mid feb 

 so as tall as will stand up to the wind on your site I would suggest 

Took us by surprise, so this year we have built a walk in tunnelly construction, for ease of weeding and harvest.

Got PSB, white SB, calabrese and sprouts in it 

Having never grown purple broc before .Can i ask when it needs to go in ? i am fairly new to this growing malarky , but loving the rewards :-)

Thanks Mark

and when the pigeons are hungry so you will need netting ..........trying to think..about 3ft was ok with mine 

I take my theory back then. having a humble pie for dinner!!
