Title: Hiow long does PSB crop for
Post by: Digeroo on May 25, 2010, 10:43:01
I stripped all my plants before I went on holiday and they are producing well again.  How long can I expect to continue to have a crop.

Some of the plants that 'died' during the winter are now sprouting from the roots.  Do you think they will produce a crop.

Most PSB is now over. Many varieties but, unless you have something special, I would say 'no'!

I think that I have something special I am getting armfuls of it from a few plants, only I lost touch with which plants were which.  I had them marked out in rows and but when I planted them out I lost the planting plan.

Here is the list nothing jumps out as remarkable.

carter psb
late T&M
real seeds psb
extra early rudulpho
red cauli
romanesco
summer sprouting
real seeds early
calebrese

Did not have any summer or calebrese at all, red cauli and romanesco were self evident and did well, the carters row did not survive the winter and nothing started extra early so it looks like it was the late by T&M and some of the real seeds plants that are still on the go.

Enjoy it!!

Most 'normal' PSB is gone by now. But it was a funny winter which set things back many weeks.

Digeroo the only PSB I grew was the early from Real Seeds, and I've only just dug the last plant up, I needed the space so can't really compare notes, but they were cropping well up until a week / 10 days ago
