Have also tried to grow Red Sprouts many times over the past years also without any success. Have tried all the preparation treatments the gardening and allotment books suggest - no success. Am also going to try Petit Posy this year after seeing it on gardeners world as it looks like something different for the plate. Seeds from Marshalls. - Dave G (Northumberland)
thanks for your help dave ,ive had a good feedback about these and so far no one has anything good to say about them so it looks like a bin job many thanks again best wishes bob
I bought red sprout plants from an otherwise reliable source last year and also achieved only a few marble sized sprouts. I won't be bothering this year.
