Brussels but no sprouts

 In the autumn I planted various brassicas.  The cabbages grew and made large
cabbages, the cauliflowers grew and made good heads etc.  However the
brussels sprouts grew stems with leaves and little tiny sprouts about the
size of a pea.  They are all in the same plot and treated the same way.  Now
it's spring and I am about to pull out the brussels sproutless.  Can anybody
tell me why the sprouts never grew any sprouts?

 Usually if they haven't had a good frost on them they wont sprout.
I sometimes have the problem. if the winters too mild, they've been
planted late or not enough water. Then they wont do as well.

We do get quite cool winters usually but this one was fairly mild, only a
handful of hard frosts.  Oh well it's too late now I need the space for
summer crops.
