I have about 8 sprout plants growing in the garden, but the sprouts
are quite small.

Should they be ready to eat now or am I being a bit impatient?

Eat the disgusting things as soon as possible, I'd say!

Mike, have you tried the modern less bitter varieties of sprout, Icarus,
Trafalgar etc. They taste more like a summer cabbage than those oldfashioned
bitter sprouts.
