someone told me that if you cut off the top of sprouts they grow better sprouts. SO I tried this with the one plant that seemed to be affected by some kind of aphid. I didn't see any difference with the sprouts but what i did get was a load of small sprouty growth growing out the top of the plant!! Brassicas seem to be indestructible sometimes!!! I have lots of regrowth on my smooth head cabbages where I cut them off too!
2012 - Snow in February, non-stop rain till July. Blight and rot are rife. Thieving voles cause strife. But first runner beans and lots of greens. Follow an English allotment in urban France: http://roos-and-camembert.blogspot.com
