I grow it on a pot.
I think, it's more easy for me to control the growth.
I sowed the seeds on February.
From five seeds that I've sowed, only a seedling that stand on.
But please notice this whole plant...
You can see the tubby stem.
I now, it does not grow normally.
I think, it should be producing so many sprouts on the leaf axils.
But I didn't find the sprouts yet.
Is the pot too small?
Does the plant need more space and better media?
Or should I move the plant on to the ground?
Readers, if you have experience on growing Brussel Sprouts, please share...
I have to learn a lot of things about this plant.
Thank you for sharing.
Brussels sprouts need firm planting and they are hungry feeders maybe it can't be planted firmly enough in a pot. Also have you stripped off the bottom leaves as these feed the plant?
ReplyDeleteInteresting lesson. thank you for sharing.
DeleteSue gave you good advice, Endah. I don't grow Brussel sprouts, but I enjoy eating them, so maybe I'll try to grow some next year. P. x
ReplyDeleteThank you for the advice Pam.
DeleteI tried to grow Brussels once and the sprouts were there but a freeze came before they were ready for harvest. I wish you luck with yours. I made a very tasty brussel sprout and bacon salad this past weekend :-)
ReplyDeleteWow... sound so interesting, it must be so tasty!
DeleteBrussels sprouts need a lot of food. Top-compost.
ReplyDeleteIn my country harvest begins in October.
At the moment, my Brussels sprouts are not small cabbage.
