Plants perform well on a range of soil types and produce an outstanding number of buttons per stem for late season use. Sprouts boast a distinctive but delicate flavour and plants show good disease resistance, making them ideal for the home gardener, and good holding ability, ensuring a long harvest period (November-January). Good holding abaility ensures good post-Christmas harvests.
Tom says: Ideal for harvesting fresh for Christmas dinner, although the humble sprout is perfect for much more than just Christmas. Steamed and then stir-fried with smoked bacon it’s a welcome addition to any winter dish.
Growing Information
Not just for Christmas! If suitable varieties are chosen, fresh sprouts will be available for picking from September to early spring. (30-36 weeks maturity). Sow March-early April outdoors or in frames. F1 hybrid varieties produce a larger yield per plant of better quality. The sprouts also ‘hold’ for longer on the stem in good condition.
