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? -- Mark Hamer www.another-way.co.uk 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! |

Brussels flowering
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. -- Mark Hamer www.another-way.co.uk 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!
