Default Cause of "dirty" brussel Sprouts


"Rod" wrote in message

Since sprouts will be on many minds at this time it's probably worth
mentioning that some breeders like Marshalls are selling varieties low in
the mustard oil that make some varieties bitter.


And T & M too. We grow Trafalgar and Icarus both sweeter sprouts and
together they give us a long season.
The later is only available "mail order" from their catalogue, never seen it
on the Garden Centre shelves.
What is amazing is the number of people that previously hated sprouts that
now, having tasted them, want some of these or grow them themselves.
