Got a question…..
My Brussel Sprouts have not yet got sprouts. NOTHING on any of them.
What could be causing that?
I do have them covered with netting to keep those danged butterflies off them or the caterpillars decimate, and worse, the crop, but other than that, I can’t think of anything else.
It has been a very wet year, too.
FWIW, my bucket potato crop is fantastic. The onions did not do well and probably won’t store well, but the garlic and potatoes did great.
A wet season has a lot to do with it, as that leaches nutrients out of the soil and BS’s are HEAVY feeders!
Mine did fantastic this season - best I’ve ever grown, BUT I had fresh composted tilled in at the start of the season, they were watered enough, but not too much, because we remain in drought conditions. I boosted them twice with straight nitrogen, via Blood Meal applied at the roots and watered in.
Here are the basics for growing great Brussels Sprouts:
