In the autumn I planted various brassicas. The cabbages grew and made large cabbages, the cauliflowers grew and made good heads etc. However the brussels sprouts grew stems with leaves and little tiny sprouts about the size of a pea. They are all in the same plot and treated the same way. Now it's spring and I am about to pull out the brussels sproutless. Can anybody tell me why the sprouts never grew any sprouts?
