| Not for here. Sprouts were small and hardly worth growing. Plants got tall, but I think this variety is for a different climate. They were advertised to be early and large, neither was true. I did not top off till later, and perhaps this was partly responsible, but this variety is supposed to be easy and not require much care. We had what I would consider perfect weather for this crop, and did not get killing frost (this is quite cold for this crop) till Mid-December, so there is really no excuse. |
