Growing Brussels sprouts

View the Brussels sprouts page

25 Oct 15 Kate (Australia - sub-tropical climate)
Our Brussel sprouts don't seem to be growing. We have healthy looking plants (leafy cabbage like with a centre the size of a tennis ball) We have taken away 5 layers of leaves from underneath, but still nothing. They have been growing approx 4 months from seedling. Hope you can give us a tip to get the sprouts started... With thanks.....
