Default Brussels sprouts

Hi was wondering if anyone has had success in growing this vegetable in pots? I have bought seed for the variety F1 Hybrid Brigitte, has anyone grown this, and is it tasty?

I was browsing a website yesterday, and it contradicts with the sowing time. On the packet it says to sow indoors in March (I use a propagator) but on the website it said to sow after the last frost indoors.

I live up in the North West of the UK (Lancaster), so that would mean in about April, is this when I should be sowing, or March as I was originally going to do?

Also, this is my first time ever growing Brussels sprouts, what should I watch out for, and how should I harvest them? I am growing them to prove to my Dad that I like Brussels sprouts. I am 18, and always hated them as a child! I’m trying to prove that I WILL eat home grown ones as my Dad grew them when I was 8 and I hated them!

Thanks

Dave
