Brussels flowering
 

Brussels sprouts, I planted them last winter now they are little plants and
starting to flower. Surely that isn't right. Did I plant them too early?

I don't want to arrive at my grave in an attractive and well preserved body,
hopefully I will be skidding in
sideways, Gin and Tonic in one hand -- Cigar in the other screaming YAHAAAY!

Yes. You plant Brussels seed about May time, as it says on the packet.

Thank you, plenty of time to start again then. You live and learn.

The seeds came over from a friend in France and it didn't say anything on
the packet about when to plant them. So I looked in a couple of books and
got conflicting info. So I just planted them.

I take it that the cold weather has affected them then.

I sow them in early March and then some more in late March as they do better
with a long season I find

What variety do you use? and when do they crop?

I try different varieties but last year and this year I am trying Seven
Hills and Cascade and crop through the winter. I dug them up late Feb/Early
