The sprouts I planted out last month have put on alot of growth & there are signs of tiny ,tiny sprouts forming already but they are looking blown. Should I dig them up & plant out some spare ones given to me by another gardener - These are alot younger plants. We had fearsome winds a couple of weeks ago & I wonder if they got rocked & loosened in the groud. Any advice please.

How big were the sprouts when you planted them? Ideal size for planting out is around six inches tall, plant in firm ground and they won't start to produce anything like sprouts for months. You should be planting young plants around now to grow through the summer and produce sprouts in Autumn/Winter. Which varieties do you have? Did you grow them yourself or buy them in? I find it hard to believe they are producing sprouts already.

I grew them from seed "Seven Hills" was the variety. On the packet it said sow under cover Feb - March. They were quite ready to go in when I planted them about 6" tall and looked really healthy.The sprouts forming are really very tiny but enough to see they are blown.

Noooooooo - don't dig them up. My first year brussel sprouts did this (I didn't know about the ground having to be hard and firm) and so I picked them, sliced them up and fried them in olive oil with an onion, a bit of garlic and some pine nuts. Delicious!
PS My plants are still very tiny. Only about 4 inches tall. In fact I was beginning to get a bit worried about them!~
