Mine have only just started to sprout, they went in a little late, and are only 1ft high. another plot holder left theres in all year last year and are 3ft high, and have loads of white and purple sprouting. anyone else leave theirs in?

I have 9 plants that i have nurtured for a year! About 6 of them were looking really promising.

They have been thrashed by weeks if not months of snow. They look really sad, but I refuse to give up.

They are trying to sprout, and i am prepared to give them every chance to do so.

I love PSB

Excuse my ignorance but what is psb?

Oh good i'm not the only one then!!

I have one tiny purple sprout at the school plot 

let's hope the rest get the idea now -- it's nearly time to sow next year's plants 

[tosca100]

I'm still waiting. I will leave it in till I really need the space. Had kale for dinner yesterday though, that has suddenly got going, sweated the last of the leeks and added the kale for a minute...delicious!

Thank you for the replies, but what i mean is the plot holder put theirs out in 2008, got a small harvest 2009, then let them grow all year 2009, and are now harvesting loads in 2010. sorry not being exact in the 1st place

[digalotty]

i think my neihbour plotter leaves his in

PSB will just run to flower and then die if you leave them in.

You can get everlasting broccoli which produce small cauli like heads each year. Is that what your neighbour has?
