wanted: Sprouts

[Two_Sheds]

I'VE BEEN SORTED NOW, thank you.

[SarzWix]

I've got a spare packet of these Sheds;
Brussels Sprout : Maximus F1 Hybrid (Seeds)

I haven't tried them though, so can't say if they're any good!

[tootles]

Have pm'd you.

How much of a disaster were the Evesham? I have some to try this year..............

[Two_Sheds]

Evesham all blew, and got really bad aphid and whitefly.
Maximus were brilliant though: I picked my last ones yesterday.

[lainey lou]

My Evesham all blew too, even though I thought I'd firmed them in really well.

[sewer rat]

Out of 250 Evesham Special, I managed to harvest only 40 sticks - the rest blew.

[lainey lou]

won't be bothering with them again then! I thought it was my inexperience!

[shirlthegirl43]

Crickey is it time to be sowing sprouts then?

[Two_Sheds]

No Shirl, but I've just eaten my last ones, and reminded myself I can't find last year's packets

[ixi1456]

i have a packet of red rubine that i got from grow it mag but my strip of land aint big enough to grow these so you could have them for nothing as i cant grow the beans either it also saves me throwing away perfectly good seeds... if not wanted there up for grabs i just need a sae and there yours

Phew - thought it seemed a bit early for that sort of sowing!

[SarzWix]

Just had a knock at the door from chap who lives in the next street, same name & number as mine, but Avenue rather than Lane... (are you there yet...) Says, "So sorry, meant to bring this round ages ago, but kept forgetting, postie put it through our door by mistake"... and there was a lovely little package of beans from Two_Sheds
To be honest, I'd forgotten all about them, so was a lovely surprise

Thanks Sheds, looking forward to growing them.

[cheerfulness]

Sorry for my ignorance but what does it mean if your brussel sprouts blew? Does it mean they didn't form?

they form,but are not tight compacted like little cabbages,instead the leaves are all open more like to a flower or an open lettuce.

Thanks lottie dolly (and two sheds). Slowly but surely I'm learning with a little help from my friends. I had no idea how much I didn't know!
