Default Anyone had luck with Brussels sprout plants?

Mine are just turning from redish to green and seem to be growing a bit.
After umpteen attempts.
Same with Savoy cabbage.
I am wondering if it's too late now for them to produce.

With us it's the brassicas that are the only things growing well other than
the potatoes. Tried two lots of new parsnip seed and not a one came up.
Fennel and carrots are now doing OK after replanting but I think that was
slugs/snails. Cucurbits and beans look terrible and are just sulking.
Got the Garlic up yesterday and despite serious rust they look fine, good
crop.
I would expect your brassicas to be OK in the long term, this cold weather
can't continue all "summer" surely.
