Meant to be early psb

[Lisasbolt]

I keep looking out the window and really need to get a move on with clearing the plot.
I grew, last year direct into the soil (april time) some early PSB, it said it would be ready Nov, i asked in another post a couple of months back if i should give up on it. Well now it has been quite a lot longer and thinking of giving it to the chickens bit by bit. But the plants look so healthy, very big, i don't want to pull if i might get a harvest. Surely at some point it has to flower to make seed The weather has warmed up nicely being mid teens to early 20's every day.
Is it a lost cause? What shall i do? help i can't make these decisions alone :roll eyes:


Thanks

Here in the cold north my early PSB is just finishing and the late just starting. However I used to live in Spain and some of my brassicas I grew there (I didn't grow PSB) used to get a bit confused by the warmer climate. I once got Brussel Sprout sets from the local market. They kept giving me sprouts for a year growing healthily and ended up at about 5 feet tall. Eventually they stopped and produced a cabbage like head, I'd just hang on unless you need the ground for something else,

This was taken a couple of months back, but exactly the same apart from it has been blown around a bit and flopped.

It seems to side shooting a lot but nada for eating, although tried the leaf but i thought the chickens would like it more

only about 4 plants 1 row


sorry and the size must be a meter wide! by a meter tall

I have just harvested my first brussels only a couple of weeks back, lovely though

Hmm, they are planted much too close together..probably a bit starved of nutrients. Though no signs that they are ready yet. They could probably do with a feed and a good mulch.
