Those sprouts are going to be amazing on the xmas table!! Looking at our garden I'm thinking that my beautiful hybrid blackberries may just ripen in time for the christmas pavlova. I have an immense crop this year!. As always a seriously inspiring vlog.i would love to spend more time in the garden but work in retail.and right now my hours are extended. Its keeping up the watering that worries me most and it is ROASTING !

Hello Cherie, I would love to spend more time in my growing spaces and looking forward to retirement, amazing what you will have ready for this up and coming holiday.

Hello Terry, just catching up after a break. With the curved kerbs, would it work for you by alternating the curves, one way then the other way. Crispus look good, second year I have grown them although they were slow taking off. When you ask the wife to hit the nail...........remember to tell her not the ones attached to your fingers and thumb! 😊 🌻Nigel.............MuddyBootz Allotment🌻🌻

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

I was thinking the same with the kerbs Nigel, but ether way most of the kerb will be buried. Really pleased with the sprouts, but the other club root resistance brassicas that I bought with them didn't do very well, did get one good cauliflower though. 🎅Happy gardening, Terry King.

Just in my first year of allotmenteering! Loving it! So addictive. Am also vlogging it and also on TikTok, as I get loads of tips and advice! Found you when I searched for brussels. Not sure what to do or how to look after mine at the moment. Think it looks like I need to chop all the leaves off?

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

@peterandsarah_doing_lifePlot37 you do need to wait until your sprouts get to a good size before removing the lower leaves, once fully grown you can then take the tops out to stop the sprouts blowing. Welcome and I have subscribed.

I should build one of these for constant burning of wood for charcoal. The brussel sprouts are coming in nicely for christmas. I'll have afew more for luck. It's really growing back

[@richardhart7652]

Terry I noticed that one plant the sprouts were spiralling up clockwise and on another anticlockwise does that mean they are different varieties and does it make any difference to the quality etc.

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

I will have to take a closer look Richard, just done another video for Sunday so will check it out in a future video and ask if anyone has seen this before. 🎅Happy gardening, Terry King.

[@ronaldandsusanshaws-growing]

Hi Terry, Those Brussel sprouts look really nice, you have done well with those this year, I lost mine early doors because of the cabbage white constantly laying eggs it was a never-ending job finding and taking off the eggs, Take care.

They were open to the elements and a quick spray of neem oil seems to have put off the cabbage whites. Better luck for you next year. 🎅Happy gardening, Terry King.

[@myrustygarden]

I agree cool fireplace. Question the sprouts does it matter if you cut them off or twisted them off to get the regrowth? As always stay safe and stay gardening from Langley 🇨🇦🧑‍🌾✌️☮️🍆🥬🥕🌶🎄

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

Twisting them off takes too much off back to the stem so cutting leaves something for the little sprouts to form. 🎅Happy gardening, Terry King.

That stove works great. That was a great find with the rebar. I tried my hand at brussels sprouts for the first time this past season. They grew nice, but succumbed to flea beetles just as they were filling in. I'll give them another go next year. Yours look amazing.

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

We ether get good sprouts or not then we have the bugs to deal with, it's a crop that you don't get very often so when we do this is how I look after mine. Rebar will come in really useful for a couple of future projects. 🎅Happy gardening, Terry King.

[@markshaw5835]

The fire place is amazing, be great to cook some bacon on that. Love your sprouts, they look great. Hoping mine will put some growth on, they very small sprouts. Do u have any tips on growing sprouts. Lastly I have a question about compost, is it a good idea to put some guttering in the middle of the pile, with holes in to give the compost pile more air. Would this help to make the compost break down quicker?

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

Hello Mark, I prefer cold Composting with worms, they create the holes for the Compost to breath and each March I harvest it and its marvellous material. Take the tops out Mark on a few to see if it makes a difference for you. Keeping warm in front of the fire Mark when it's not raining.......lol. 🎅Happy gardening, Terry King.

Wow those sprouts look amazing Terry. I am growing sprouts for the first time this year and am pleased to say I have quite a few sprouts forming - not nearly as many as you right enough. Question for you... some of the sprouts look a bit loose, as this they may be starting to blow. What causes this and how can I prevent it? Thanks in advance. Take care. Mags 🌺🌼🌸🌻

[@trevorwills3356]

Sink a strong stake next to the plant and tie the stem to the stake with strong material. Strong winds rocking the plant is one reason why sprouts blow .

Thank you for the video! You have a real knack for finding and utilizing cast off treasures! I have never grown Brussels sprouts. I love to eat them, but haven't grown them. We get the aphids really, really bad here. I am thinking that I will avoid growing the brassicas over the summer and just plant them in the fall when there are a lot fewer of the aphids around.

I love sprouts but in my first season I couldn’t get netting or BT in time due to lockdown so was hit massively with cabbage butterfly, I had to cut my losses an get rid.

Excellent video Terry and I have never really watched the Queen's speech because I am not into knowing or being interested in what the Royal family gets up to but do respect people's choices to do so. It's good to have an alternative to the Queen's speech(technically it's not written by the Queen and it's not her words but rather written by the government that is in power in this case someone in the Tory Party) because it won’t interest everyone.

At what point during growth so you remove the leaves ? I have well established sprouts growing with no issues and just curious to know if and when to remove leaves.

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

As soon as the sprouts look a good size, too many leaves with make the sprouts grow more and end up blowing. Take the tops out once fully formed and store as they are until you need them, if you are unsure try different methods and stick to what suits you Bill. ♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.

Love the mug Terry,and loved the sound of the kettle 💚👍☕. Great looking sprouts. I had success with them to this year, i'm delighted you have had too. Love that fire, nothing like it in the cold weather.

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

Must get a suitable kettle for the Stove Lorraine, maybe an aluminium kettle would be more suitable, boils alot better now. Really pleased that you have some good sprouts too, enjoy them my friend. 🎅Happy gardening, Terry King.

[@LorraineG123]

@@terrykingsallotmentgardening good idea re kettle,I have a very light weight one, i use on my portable stove, very handy,I use when camping,boils faster might suit better. Oh sprouts are hubbies fave.

I think guttering is so expensive for what it is so getting some free ones are a winner.

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

It's been difficult at the moment to get any guttering, and yes, at £14 a length come expensive. ♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.

Hi terry when do put your sprouts in do have to cover as I’m new to this thank you

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

Hello Michael, I sow mine in March April time and depending what pests you have which will be a learning curve for you will depend on the protection. I have issues with pigeons so i hang a net over the top so they can't land on the tops, butterfly's can be a problem, but I tend to not net completely cover as they will lay the eggs through the netting anyway onto the leaves. Hope this helps and please don't hesitate to ask questions if you continue to watch some of my videos. Happy gardening, Terry King.

How to spray from midges that eat from the inside?

[@louleeo7789]

Thank you for the information! Is it OK if I cut the leaves before the Brussels sprouts start growing?

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

Only remove the dying leaves at that stage because its the leaves that collect the energy to create the sprouts, remove the leaves as the sprouts grow. Happy gardening, Terry King.

Great sprouts Terry, mine get holed by slugs or grazed by snails, any suggestions?

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

Put a piece of plastic at the bottom of the plants and collect the slugs as they rest Gwen, vigilance is key. 🎅Happy gardening, Terry King.

[@gwenscoble6229]

@@terrykingsallotmentgardening It doesn't seem to be an overnight trip for them. I'm finding the slugs and snails as I pick during daytime. I used nematodes in the summer which reduced the slug population, I find small snails in crevices on the sprout plant. I haven't deleafed as much as you which may help, I just wish the welsh water would stop falling. Dissuades the birds and facilitates the molluscs. Freshly picked sprouts are a revelation. Thanks for the reply.

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

@@gwenscoble6229 this wet weather has increased the population, pleased that Nematodes have helped you.

Hi terry i am new to growing.. do i remove the leaves of the sprout plant or leave them on ??

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

Only remove the leaves once the sprouts have formed starting at the bottom and working your way up as the sprouts form further up, if you want to store them at the end of the season remove the top and remaining leaves and leave them in the ground, harvest some sprouts as required or take a stem. This was a good year for me but we can get failures too. All the best and don't hesitate to as any questions. ♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.

Hi Terry great score with that rebar mate :-) Excellent tips on the sprouts (something I've not grown for a number of years) Q: at what stage did you trim the leaves back? cheers mate Woody

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

Hello Woody, the rebar was a great find and will help me immensely with a couple of future projects. As soon as the sprouts have filled out and slowly work my way towards the top eventually removing the tops to help stop them blowing and hopefully the small ones at the top getting to a good size. 🎅Happy gardening, Terry King.
