it has finished producing sprouts i think, but if you can leave it for a bit before you pull it up the flowers are good for wildlife.

I've pulled mine up. Not sure if it would have been worth keeping but as you say it takes up alot of space that was spoken for!

Make the most of today, because you'll never have it back again.

Ours is more or less over in sunny Derby,
It is always suggested that you get the last of the old brassicas in the bottom of the bean trench before you put the new ones out to reduce the whitefly pop. but I always have some brassicas out!
