brussels sprouts

i planted my brussels in june ish time and they made good progress as they do every year but they weren't anyware near eating size by christmas. they are still too small but my question is will they continue to grow now the weather is improving or are they best off in the compost bin?

Hello Matt, Don't pull the brussels up, they will sprut & you will get a crop of spring greens. These are equal to the brussels & my family prefer them. I have had 4 boilings off mine already.

ive pulled a couple up already for the compost as they were begining to rot. a few years ago i had some chickens and if anything like the brussels didnt perform i'd feed them to the chooks.
