Brussel Sprouts

My luck with Brussel Sprouts have seem to run out these last few years.
The first few times I planted them they were wonderful - very tall stalks
with lots of sprouts. The last few years have seen small stalks with few
edible sprouts? Any suggestions?
I live in Blaine, WA (perfect weather). No evidence of club root and they
seem to thrive better in different parts of the garden. PH OK, nutrients
seem to be OK - I'm stymied.
Next year I will start seedlings earlier and plant out when bigger. Any
other help much appreciated.
Thanks
Mark
Plants in the cabbage family need small amounts of boron in order to thrive. Work in some 20 mule team borax to the soil or add a teaspoon or so to the hole at planting time.
