Alternatively start in seed trays.
Set out when large enough 2½ ft by 2½ ft apart.
Harvest mid September - April. Top Tips
Plant firmly, and in windy areas consider staking.
Protect from Pigeons - Pigeons love Brassicas (so do Partridges!)
Take precautions against the dreaded Cabbage White Butterfly - inspect your crop regularly, spray with our BioFriend Plant Defence or use a physical barrier such as insect netting.
Harvest from the bottom of the plant upwards.
Sprouts harvested after frosts will have better flavour than those harvested before.
