In Qld's warmer climates you have a very small window to plant sprouts - Feb/March. Grow them into the winter cool months. They really are a cool weather crop.

I live in Ipswich in SEQ, and I planted a pair of brussel sprout plants in my Aquaponics this year. Sown seed in germination tray mid Feb. Transplanted to system after first set of true leaves appeared (can't remember when that was tbh probably mid to late March). 1 plant suffered nutrient deficiencies pretty severely, (strange though as both were in the same grow bed with same nutrient level) the other has only in the last week started growing some small nubs to sprouts.... Next time round I'm going to start germinating on or before Xmas day
