Purple Sprouts

Post: # 173508Post bramblehen »

Is it too late to pop some purple sprout plants into the veggie patch? my neighbour has some spares in his greenhouse that he gave me. My chooks helped themselves to my established ones the other night :roll:

...sorry if this is in the wrong place, newbie here getting used to the forum :oops:

If I'd been given some plants I'd stick 'em in and hope for the best. What's the worst that can happen?

Oh & keep chooks well way :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yes, keep the chooks well way!

Purple Brussels sprouts or purple sprouting? My purple sprouting are out (or should that be in?) but still quite small - considering how big they can get.
