THIS website is really great. I have possibly planted my brassicas too late as it is now 1 September and they have done nothing but keep making leaves and getting taller. most cabbages have been ok though. I am in Sydney south west suburbs so temperate climate but it has been a very mild warm winter, only 2 mild frosts They have not gone to seed yet but brussels have not made buds, caulies and broccoli just leaves and more leaves and growing taller about 20-30 inches. What could it be?
I'm Mid North Coast and we've had such mild winter too. My Brussells Sprouts have started to pop out but don't think they're going to do much good either. Think maybe next year the seeds could be put in the fridge for a while before planting? That works for some winter seeds.
Hi Dorothy,my brussells were popping out so i left them so they would grow as big as shop bought ones.But within 2 weeks they all opened up like flowers,I dont know what I've done wrong.I have now discarded them and put in corn cucumbers and beans.I can only hope these will take off.I'm in Perth

I'm in Melbourne, planted my sprouts in January and they got to about 2cm max. We had a very warm winter so I'm now wondering if the chance to grow sprouts again is shot. I hope not as I love them in a bubble and squeak or just steamed, probably my favorite vegetable.
