Brussels Sprouts Trafalgar F1

Trafalgar F1 is one of the tastiest sprouts we’ve tried—full of flavour and seriously productive. It gives a heavy crop of firm, reliable buttons from mid-December right through to late March. A real winner for long-season picking and great eating.

SOW: from the end of February to April to crop from December to March next year.  Start them in modules or pots (seed depth 10mm) & when they are about 15cm tall harden off & plant out.

GROW:   plant into firm soil and space at 60-75cm, closer spacing will create smaller sprouts.  Use the space between them to grow fast maturing or cut and come again crops.  If your garden is windy be prepared to stake your Brussels.  In mid-summer they will appreciate a dose of general fertiliser.

ENJOY: pick the lowest buttons first and work your way up!  At the end of the crop the sprout tops can be eaten as greens (delicious).  Sprouts will last in the fridge for 3 days.  Small sprouts can be frozen.
