Let's talk sprouts!

[veggiechicken]

Am I supposed to have sown them?


Mine haven't germinated either, SP, probably because they're still in a packet somewhere.

[Small pumpkin]

I just assumed you would as you're sowing something every 30 seconds .

[Deano's "Diggin It"]

No! Not started sowing mine either, the Tomatoes will be next!

And to be fair them being a very long season crop and what I call a cold starter and in need of no bottom heat I'll not be rushing!

But will be starting them soon!

How did I ever get "Rumbled" into this!

[Bren In Pots]

My Evesham Special Sprouts were sown on the 11th March and they're germinated already bit surprised really.

I grow Trafalgar, but mine aren't in yet.

[Small pumpkin]

All 14 varieties are now sown .

Because I'm growing a couple of varieties this year. I'm putting harvesting times on the label. I'm have trouble finding harvesting times for Long Island improved. Any ideas?

Apparently October to December>
Brussels Sprouts Long Island Improved - Moreveg

Edited to add: I'm only growing Trafalgar and Montgomery in the end.

Hmmm, Sp posting on another Sp's post. I'll have to try to differentiate .

We don't eat a lot of sprouts and whatever variety I grow needs to mature for Christmas lunch. A packet of seed usually lasts a few years .

^Yes, even I'm taken aback to see myself referred to as SP. Most people just call me Snoop for short (which I am, as well). I'd be honoured if you'd do the same.

I shall try Sp although it goes against my instict to type as little as possible. Opps, Snoop

You sound like rary, Ap. he thinks he's charged by the letter.

S will do at a pinch.

[Deano's "Diggin It"]

I did have my seeds on the kitchen counter last night having a noisy through, but that's as far as I've got!

I'll be potting on a lot of chillies & sowing my toms this weekend, then I'll put my serious brassica head on!

I had great results last year with a sprout called Nautic, an F1. Plenty for xmas, and still cropping in Feb.

This lot have all germinated
Montgomery.
Brest f1.

Seven hills (only 1 germinated)
