I'm looking for some low growing sprouts that I can grow under my cages (approx 30" high), is there such a thing & can you advise on varieties. Horizontal varieties would be good.........
......Thanks.
......Thanks.

What about "Half tall"? Seems to grow to about 2.5 feet - several stockists Brussels Sprouts Early Half tall - Detailed item view - moreveg.co.uk, quality vegetable, herb and flower seed retailers
If they were too tall, could you dig out a hole and plant them deeper in your raised bed
You know what I mean!Comment

At least now I can have bug free sprouts without the use of extra netting.sigpic“Gorillas are very intelligent, but they don't have to be as delicate as chimps -- they can just smash open the termite nest,”

My sprouts always end up (nearly) horizontal anyway ~ well, 45 degree angle or less. I haven't bothered this yearAll gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb.Comment

That was going to be my next theory (to lean them @ 45 degrees) if I couldn't find any dwarf varieties........or maybe espalier sprouts.......Originally posted by Two_Sheds View Post

My sprouts this year were very short and then I realised that they were in fact cauliflowers - probably not much help to you though as I don't think that was what you were looking for. Neither was I, will teach me to buy emergency replacement plants from DIY type shops rather than looking after my own seedlings like I normally do!
Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
Which one are you and is it how you want to be?Comment

No, it wasn't what I was looking for Alison, however it did make me smile so thanks for that.Originally posted by Alison View PostMy sprouts this year were very short and then I realised that they were in fact cauliflowers - probably not much help to you though as I don't think that was what you were looking for.
