Henrys Handy Hint Number Whatever And 2 Frost on Broccoli

If you want to avoid losses caused even light frost,try this old method.


Locate north on you plot,and dig a little soil away from the base of your broccoli plants on the north side.
Then go around to the south side and using a spade gently tilt the plant over,then build up a little soil and compact it so that the plant head lays over a little.
This will ensure a slow thaw out in worse frosty days thus avoiding browning and spoiling the tops of your much cared for winter food.

Would this be useful for brussels sprouts too?  I'm determined to do anything to keep mine from perishing.  After the blight my surviving veg is getting nothing but the best treatment.

I always think that brussles are better after a hard frost,and love snapping them off.They will not take to laying over,and if healthy should survive most frosts
