Sprouts for Christmas?

[HeyWayne]

I managed to get some real work done yesterday (about 4 hours worth), and dug over three beds incorporating plenty of compost in the process and getting rid of tonnes of bindweed.

Anyway, I had a quick caterpiller check of my sprouts and this is what I saw. Do you think I'll have some in time for Christmas?

Also a photo of how the plot is looking at the moment (the runner beans are hiding a mass of weeds behind them).

Hi Hey wayne,

I;ll be intrested to see the responve to this one, my sprouts are about half your size!

Your plot looks great, I wish I had as much space, Mandy

Small but perfectly proportioned as they say. Give them time. The plot look good. Much more space than I have in my garden veg plot.

i picked some sprouts yesterday - some were much bigger than a golf ball - got some creatures in some of them - definitely gonna use netting next year ....

My sprouts look just like yours Heywayne. I'll be eating them at Christmas whatever size they are - but I think they look on target to be good. Good luck for both of us.

Yep, you might even get some sprouts too
I'm picking half a dozen caterpillars off each plant every other day at the mo. Sprouts are looking just like yours, quite exciting ... mine "blew" last year (~Falstaff) so I tried a diff variety (Roodnerf, Lidl)
