n00b question but should I be feeding my sprouts? Took a peek at the weekend and they are still very small, about pea sized. They've been kinda neglected since I took everything else out of my raised beds. Will they be edible come Xmas?

I've got the red ones (think you have Two Sheds) and I'm not right impressed. Mind you, it's the caterpillars, not the sprouts to blame.Whoever plants a garden believes in the future.

Wellington variety grown from seeds. Will have to check my log book for planting dates.
Most of the caterpillars I had stripped the leaves off the parsnips and seemed to leave my sprouts alone.
I am correct in pulling off the yellow leaves?aka Neil

yes, pull off the yellow leaves to reduce the chances of slugs and bugs hiding in them. Chuck them on the compost.
