Mr Dan thank you for this mate. It's my first time using my garden for planting vegetables etc. I tipped all the seeds in one tray and now I've realized thanks to you I need to separate them.
Glad it helped.
@@homegardens7682 did indeed thank you buddy.
I'm looking forward to the new year
I thought it meant that they don't suck but I assume it's that they literally don't blow over. But it they did blow over, that would still suck. Ok you mean that they would open up. Those look great Dan and this video doesn't blow!
Cheers Brett. Can't beat some nice sprouts!
Brussell Brand😂
Lol!
I definitely got to build a net/cage for my brassicas next season... bloody butterflies are a pest. Beautiful, but not so when their young are munching my food ... im Up for sharing but they dont understand the concept 🤷🏽♂️🤣👊🏽✌🏽💜
Indeed! They are a real pain.
The 'compactness' of soil was helpful.
Certainly is important for brassicas.
Hello! Thank you so much for this video! My son gave me Brussels sproud seeds for mothers day and this is the first time I planted Brussels sprout seeds. I planted them om a tray flat and they grew so fast. I got several seeds planted together so I'll have to be careful getting them apart. I have 3 inch peat pots to transplant them in. They are the type of pots you can plant in the ground. Those would be ok- right? I'm a first timer at this so I really hope I'll be successful!
Thank you, I love your style and enthusiasm. I need more nets!! I am late getting my veg out this year, in fact still clearing the ground, so it is going to be interesting!! What ever I get will be a bonus.........don't go away for three months before clearing last years mess!!!
Oh yes, certainly a challenge there.
Good subtle humor and info
Cheers! Glad it helped.
The most gorgeous Brussels sprouts on the YT! Thank you!
My pleasure.
My sprouts got hammered by the ole cabbage white.. they ended being tiny... and what a relaxing voice you have. Absolute gardening legend!
Oh yes they are a pain, you need tight netting or mesh!
This guy at first gave me Russell brand vibes at first and I hate Russell brand but watching more now he's bloody hilarious! Gets to the point and awesome! New sub here !! Cheers mate
Lol! He is taller than me and a lot richer!
Nice harvest, great tips. Boiled or steamed, ok .... but toss them in a bowl with some olive oil, seasonings and parmesan, then roast in oven ... magnificent! 👌
Sounds great.
Thank you for the tips! I have some sprouts that I planted inside, but they are all falling over! I will follow your lead tonight and compact and add more soil for support.
These videos are so good and helpful Dan, folloing all the cycles of the plant growing!
Glad they help. More to come!
@@homegardens7682 Thank you Dan, highly appreciated your effort to stay in contact and personally reply to each of us, stay full of energy as always during th 2023, blessings!
@@positivevibeskx1102 Yes, lets all go for it this year.
Amazing those roots can tale such a pounding, never knew that. I did grow broccoli one year in North Dakota and it did very well but in all my brilliance I didn't give them any protection from the white butterflies so you can imagine the mess I had. You have encouraged me to give sprouts a try here in North Dakota. Happy Holidays!!!
Oh yes. Gotta cover them up. I'm sure you will do well with sprouts there.
I didn't know about this, I sowed some direct and they did all tip over. The veg patch is rather soft, fluffy compost, which I assumed was a good thing! I decided to cull a couple because they were all a bit too close together, and the survivor does have a modest number of sprouts on which I will hopefully eat. Only very few seem 'blown'. I will be using this method next year to encourage upright plants!
Go for it, it should work.
This is an excellent video
Thanks. My pleasure entirely.
Good stuff. Thanks for the advice, no more blown sprouts for me!
Excellent!
Howdy Dan! 😃 Another great tutorial.👍 I enjoy sprouts, but haven't tried growing them yet. Thanks for the knowledge for when I do give them a try.😃
Merry Christmas!🎄💕
Merry Christmas Valorie!
Thank u for great tutorial first time growing sprouts this was very helpful
My pleasure entirely. Glad it helped.
Fantastic tutorial! Ty your energy is amazing.
I'm glad it helped.
I'm definitely going to do this, this season ❤
Go for it!
That is a good crop for seven hills....................
Certainly were tasty.
Tankyou! A lovely journey to watch
My pleasure as always/
Very jealous of people growing for their Christmas dinner, definitely having a crack at sprouts next year. Merry Christmas!!
Go for it! Merry Christmas!
I planted nasturtiums around all cabbage family plants and had no cabbage moths first year, some second, used bt. The nasturtiums really help
A great tip there. Thanks.
I love Brussel Spourts
Same here. Great crops.
@@homegardens7682 👍
@@AAHomeGardening 😀
Thanks, I'll collect it later.
Good crop Dan, well done! We prefer the smaller varieties. This format of video is ideal for those new to this crop so you see the whole cycle in one compact video. We like them boiled or blanched and then fried with bacon. Still reckon the Vicar of Dibley eating all those sprouts is hilarious. Merry Christmas and keep those videos coming. Regards Keith
Cheers Keith. Plenty more to come.
Thank you
My pleasure.
Hi you made it look so easy will try this as we are heading into summer thank you
Go for it!
Your spourts harvest looks good
Thanks. Will probably grow more plants next year.
Another great video, on my allotment I saw one of the "old boys" using a sledge hammer to firm the soil then a drill to make the hole - his sprouts were tiny compared (more like when you 1st potted them on) to yours but they ended up fantastic.
Sounds like a great method.
good show, nice one Dan
Cheers. More to come.
Wow I’m loving this. First time growing Sprouts and Bricks 🧱
It works here!
Woooo so awesome Dan love it 😊
Merry Christmas Dan 🎄😊 enjoy your Christmas ⛄😁 and happy New year 🎉
Thanks Chloe. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you as well.
@@homegardens7682 you're welcome Dan thanks 😊
@@chloebrown1399 🙂
Thank you Dan. I tried growing sprouts for the first time this year, your advice will definitely be followed as mine didn’t stay upright. Despite keeping them covered the caterpillars still found a way to my brassicas, annoyingly, I think the eggs were being laid on the netting and they got through. Still, we have enough for our Christmas dinner. Merry Christmas 🎄
Great you got a crop. Those caterpillars are a pain.
If you plant the seeds say a few days in to March they come out perfect and not leggy
I like to mix my soil and water before putting it in the pots. It makes the soil less likely to float away and uncover the seed when watering.
A nice idea there.
Chop up and sauté the tops with bacon and seasonings of choice. Salt pepper garlic onions bacon. Yummy.
Thanks for the suggestion.
NICE.
Cheers.
My sprouts have blown... Do i pull them out now😢... Im a new gardener... Thanks for the video.. Helpful for next time
You could leave them and eat them as greens. That way you still get a crop.
Hi am starting to grow my own this year, we have an allotment and I have many fruits and veg on the go already, hoping that things go well 🙈 scarie but exciting. Could steaks keep the sprouts up right or would I need to do the brick method, thank you and great video.
Hello there. Yes, staking as well as the soil compaction with the brick would be great. Let me know how you get on.
Oh u did say u can eat large leaves thx lot
You certainly can!
Thanks👍 I’ve left it late for sowing the seeds, and everywhere is sold out of plug plants, but I’ll give it a go anyway. I wondered about growing them in a greenhouse, or will they do badly with temp fluctuations?
Could be worth a try.
Hi Dan, thanks for the vid my sprouts all gone and opened, no harvest. Any Ideas why, they were upright but no harvest.
Is the soil firm?
My sprouts are now about 3 feet tall ,but most of the sprouts are still small yet some of them have blown .can I correct this at this late stage by firming the soil around the plants
Sorry for late reply. You could try it. Maybe this year try and get the soil firmer from the start and try regularly compacting it.
Good Evening
How are you doing ? What kind of soil did you used ?
Hello. It is soil I built over time. Plenty of organic matter. Horse manure etc.
Thank you for this video! As an experiment I planted one BS plant but never heard of the smack it with a brick method of soil preparation. I have a brick and will try it next year! My plant stayed up because where we live it’s ALWAYS windy so I stake everything, but it didn’t matter since the shoots “blew.” This happened to others here and I was told that it was because it was wicked hot for too long. I was wondering what would happen of this plant survived winter, do you think it might try to produce sprouts this year? I didn’t remove the blown shoots, do you think I should?
It will probably go to seed this year so no sprouts! I wouldn't remove blown sprouts unless I wanted to cook them (which they are fine to eat). Making sure they stay watered can help, especially in dry Suimmers.
Hi Dan......Im growing sprouts for the first time. They've been in the ground about 6 week's and the leaves are already growing to a huge size. Is it OK to cut them off and are they OK to eat ??
Certainly is!
Thanks Dan
❤❤❤❤❤
Does the top part taste like cabbage?? It does look like it
Yes, quite a strong taste.
Can u eat leaves or not ??
You indeed can. High in calcium.
I’m 69 years old and when I was young we always had sprout tops with our dinner. I can’t see why they don’t sell them now. I suppose they get chopped off and left on the field🤔
Probably. I suspect people wouldn't buy them either!
Leggy due to lack of light
Thank you for the tip on compacting the soil. Although I have to bust on you a bit, I could tell you were British by your choice of terrible cooking methods.....boiled or steamed.....lol. just kidding man. Great job!
Lol! I am not a great cook! Very basic! Beans on toast kind of guy ha ha!!
Mentioning the number of days between stages would be more helpful than dates.
Not if you can count
@@dansheehy665 I wouldn't waste my time doing that having wasted enough already on a rather inane show.
