Brussels sprouts if we have room, but maybe not, since I've just ordered a vast number of seed potatoes

I've only sown toms, spring onions and salsify so far and have already run out of windowsill/dining table space (too many pots of sweet peas, apple seedlings and honeysuckle/rose cuttings ) so may have to wait a while for the rest. Maybe till the outside temperature rises above zero...
