One of the five sprout plants I put in this year (OH doesn't eat them) is producing huge "fruits" - the others are normal. Can't think why, but here's a pic of one of them, first time I've picked just one sprout for dinner! I'll leave rest till the frosts have been.

How strange John, perhaps you should let the large sprout plant seed ? My plants are tall ut the sprouts aren't that big yet but I was aiming for a christmas crop, plenty of kale and cabbage though.

That really is a whopper John.
Sprouts are cropping early this year. There are several plotholders on our site that are picking now. My Brilliant are almost ready and Wellington which is the later one has good size buttons to but I shall be leaving them for a while yet. Too much other stuff to eat.

Mine are merely buds but they were late in and I have never grown them before. We were given a bag of oddments and leftovers seeds and finally I just threw them all in and told them to grow if they wanted to. No labels so it is interesting searching for dinner. This is our first growing year here after many years way up north and still cannot believe how things grow..
