Well my sprouts have survived being flattened by the snow and put up more robust supports,now I`m wondering if they can grow enough for Christmas,a few  look hopeful at the bottom but the rest are marble sized,any suggestions to fatten them up in time?

Not yet, only nearer or during harvest.

I have a sneaky feeling that they will still be too small in a month,still when they are ready I won`t have to share.I didn`t grow these as anovelty but Shaun kindly gave me 2 types of sprout seeds and these were the ones that germinated.

I have a sneaky feeling that you are right. But try all offered magic and then still harvest it when ready, might not be for Christmas, mind. :wink:

:oops: Your lucky I havent got any signs of any sprouts let alone having small ones. My plants arnt that big either, mind you I only sowed the seed late April (dont know whether thats why) so I might get them for next Christmas.
Allways enjoy gardening it shows in the final results.
