Jolly well didn't! 31st October, just like every other year 8) Thought nothing could go wrong, but then..... :-[

I topped up the water from the COLD water tap on the 10th :o and brought them off the boil  :o

So we're having our Christmas Dinner on Boxing Day this year - can't stand undercooked sprouts ;D

Only just put mine on, but then we do prefer ours a little aldente.  ;D

My wife hates sprouts but still insists I should be eating them aldente!!

Mine will be "cooked"....not mush but not bullets either!

No little stars cut in the ends and small button ones for me thankyou

What's all this sudden panic over sprouts? Christmas is still weeks away. All I have to do is to remember to harvest them a day or two before.

We harvest them on Christmas morning.  No point in being too previous.  :) :) :) :)

We are planning to harvest them on xmas day too. We have grown 'falstaff' purple sprouts. I am presuming they will go green on cooking?

Got two lots on the go - put the first lot on Good Friday and they're simmering away nicely on a low heat. (Remembered to cut a cross into the base, just like me mum did, so they cook well inside.)

The other lot will be harvested Christmas morning and boiled for three minutes....

(Hated sprouts as a child. Love them now!)

They will be ready in time for Christmas 2009 ! great forward planning, im impressed !!
There was me thinking 25 days on rapid boil would be ok  :-\

There's a problem with the sprouts here in Cheltenham, our local thieving b*****d thinks the absolute world of them!. Two plots have been totally striped of them.

And here I sat, assuming the majority of people disliked them.

The gas bill for cooking this Christmas is not going to be much!!!!.
