Check on the underside of the leaves VG…. could be little green grubs…… these will be from Cabbage moth eggs that have hatched.

‘ I harvested mine once they had started to dry off….popped them into an area where rain wouldn’t turn them moldy.

Fed them to cocky and the chooks.

Good on ya……. Brussel sprouts could have been in earlier though….plant needs to grow up big and then it develops the sprouts between the leaf stem and the trunk of the plant. Also frosts will help to give a tight sprout.

Having said this…. got a great variety listed there and good luck and happy eating.

good – the forum teaches IT skills (as well as spelling) and a bit about gardening occasionally.
- would like to see your garden photos as you get them.
