no sproutlets yet - too late?
« on: October 05, 2012, 10:24 »
I was late getting my brussels in and the plants, now about a foot tall, are a bit overshadowed by the PSB. No sign of sproutlets on the stem. Is it too late for them to form? Grew some last year but can't remember when things happen!

I've had sproutlets for several weeks (months) now so it doesn't look too promising if you have none.  There may be a slim chance yet but it is already October ...

oh dear. Might see if a bit of food gives them a shove, otherwise they'll get used as greens...

None on mine yet either,although the plants are over 24" high. I'll give 'em a bit longer. They aren't taking up space that I need.

I've got a dozen or so plants and they're 2/3 foot tall!!! Some have got sprouts ready to pick now but most are tiny.....not even as big as my little finger nail.
Quite good really because the crop is staggered.
 I've always believed that sprouts would be ready for C******** dinner.
(note the non-mention of the unmentionable word!!)
