Last year I bought, at a plant sale, 2 sprout plants - unlabelled. I'd not grown sprouts before and they cropped well. When it came time to cut them down, this I did, but left the roots in, intending to dig them out later...but I never did. New growth started & I thought that the leaf pickings might be tasty. But I never got round to picking them. These 2 plants are now sturdy plants and sprouts are forming 8) Is this usual?
btw....at the same plant sale this year I bought 2 more plantlets from the same source....might be on a winner here ;D
no, they are all biennial (this might exclude the modern hybrids as they have been so cultivated that the 'wild' has gone from them - brassica oleracea = sprouts = wild cabbage), so being biennial this explains their nature to try and keep cropping into the second year
MANY THANKS for that explanation......just didn't know.....now then...anyhing else that resurrects itself that I've been digging up after a season? ;D
Well I never!
Rotation?
