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
