Rotten Purple Sprouting

Mine so far are fine, my first thought is do you have clubroot? This may cause the rotting from the base by now. Pull one up and see if worms etc have burrowed in, with the cold they may of used them to keep them from the cold, one should give you an indication of whats going on.

A couple of my Rudolph PSB have gone the same. I think the frost has got into them. The later PSB are fine so perhaps their frost hardiness is suspect? Anyone else growing Rudolph?

They are supposed to crop Dec/Jan but did not start until Feb and have been producing in dribs and drabs since. Each time we get a few warmer days they produce more shoots.

Cant remember my variety, but I had to pull the lot up after the snow crushed them, and then they started rotting as the thaw set in.  Real shame as they are delicious.  My rosemary and other shrubs in the flower border suffered similar fate.

Leason learned for next year: dont sit inside admiring the 1.5 feet of snow supping a cuppa, get out and clear it from my veggies and plants!

dont know if its a trait of the psb but i was given some to plant along withmy own greenand they did nothing compared with the green which did well i pulled up the psb in the end , just finished cropping all the winter gb it was lovley , sent hubby to get me a packet of replacement seeds he said they were expencive 5 euros for 100 which is more than i spend but they are profesional the man i the shop told him , we shall see .

Inspected mine further today and came to the realisation they were not going to produce.
     They are now on my compost heap, not to say I shalln't try again next year because I shall but maybe look for an earlier variety perhaps.
