Brussels Sprout 'Attwood' is a hardy, British bred variety producing
delicious sprouts, just in time for your Christmas dinner! The small to
medium sized sprouts fill the stems, giving a high yields and a long
harvest period that extends well into the New Year. The flavour is sweet
and mild, without leaving an unpleasant aftertaste.
Sow Brussels Sprout seed indoors from February. Alternatively direct
sow outdoors from March into a well prepared seedbed, for transplanting
to their final positions later on. Sow at a depth of 13mm (½") and
distance of 30cm (12") between rows.
Indoors, sow seed in 7.5cm (3") pots or trays of free-draining, seed
sowing compost and cover with a 6mm (¼") layer of vermiculite. Place in a
propagator or seal container inside a plastic bag at a temperature of
15C (60F) until germination which takes around 7 days. Once germinated,
grow Brussels Sprouts on in cooler conditions until all risk of frost
has passed and plants are large enough to be transplanted.
Gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 - 10 days
before planting Brussels Sprout plants outdoors in firm, rich fertile,
well drained soil in full sun. Prepare the soil in advance in early
spring by adding plenty of well rotted farmyard manure to the soil to
improve its structure and fertility. Plant brassicas at a distance of
60cm (24") apart and cover with a protective netting or fleece to
prevent attack from birds and insects. Water the plants thoroughly after
planting.
Water Brussels sprouts
regularly and do not allow them to dry out as this may impair their
development. Hoe between plants regularly to prevent weeds from
establishing and bring insect larvae to the surface. Remove any yellowed
or diseased leaves as they occur. Brussels Sprout 'Attwood' can be
harvested from December and their flavour will be improved if they are
left exposed to the first frosts.
Culinary note: Brussels sprouts are
suitable for freezing.
