Thompson & Morgan Brussels Sprout Attwood

BUYERS NOTES

British breeding has brought us these sprouts which can be harvested from December to January. Plants stand well in condition and the well-spaced, round buttons stay remarkably clean. Pick when small to medium-sized to enjoy sweet-tasting sprouts over winter.

Sowing Information:

Sow in individual pots or a seed tray of good seed compost and cover with 6mm (¬ºin) of compost or vermiculite, at a minimum of 15°C (60°F), until germination which takes around 7 days. Alternatively, can be sown thinly in a prepared seedbed 13mm (¬Ωin) deep, allowing 30cm (12in) between rows.

Growing Information:

Transplant when large enough to handle during June, into well-prepared, firm soil allowing 75cm (30in) between plants each way. Plant firmly to reduce risk of poor quality buttons and to avoid plants leaning over. Water until established. Earth up the soil around plants as necessary to increase stability. Remove yellowing leaves to improve air circulation and reduce disease risks. Pick lowest sprouts first and work up the stem.
