Broccoli and Brussels



Out of trays and into the patch. It might be a but late but they're in. Spare broccoli went to the neighbour. Mine are at the back of the middle batch in the image.  Notice the weeds at the front of the brassica beds, probably due to good compost containing tons of invisible weeds seeds. 

The germination rate for the red sprouts was terrible. From 20 seeds only 4 made it to the patch, a couple were tiny, less than a centimeter and did not get into the patch. 

Remember when planting brassicas into the patch that they should be buried deep enough that the first cotyledon leaves should be just above the soil.
