If EJ say's they'll be OK...they wouldn't dare be anything else. (Mine are the same, what's wrong with soft and wrinkly anyway?)

Why is it that some years they do that & others - like this year - they're all fine.

As said, they'll grow!   At 6'4" ,I trust that I won't, wrinkles or no. We haven't a sound beam left in the house!

Nothing wrong with wrinkly....In fact even tho' I have a few mesmerising ones I can still hold my own; Like today, had a game of badmington against two ladies, I've only played 3 times to date, these two must have been playing for years, no, honest....I beat 'em easily. I know they have lots of experience, one was 85 and the other was 89....Uh! I still beat 'em!!

Mine are also wrinkled but the sprouts are still less than 1cm

I read that they should grow to an inch is this correct

:-  May I also point out that I do not confuse an inch and a centimeter outside the bedroom

I'm told bigger is better bur I'm not convinced. It's what you do with 'em, eh?

You can always spray your wrinklies with water to try and plump them up.  ;D

You really shouldn't get stressed about this kind of thing, wrinkled or smooth, 1cm or 1 inch, just go with it, chill

EJ's right about spraying to plump them up, if you add a bit of seaweed extract to the water they'll do even better
