    Hi and welcome! This season is so weird, dates are being pushed on by 4-6 weeks, so give them a go, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Start them in seed trays or pots in the greenhouse, since you have one!

      He or she is on about sowing BS seeds, not actually planting brussel sprouts straight off the stem.
      I mean, who in their right mind would do that?

          Seeing as you've already got the seeds you might as well use them, all you have to lose is a bit of time and compost.

          Just noticed its you first post so welcome to the vine Pottyboutveg

                  I planted a couple of trays of Brussels about 10 days ago (I think). They're just coming through now.

                    Carnations can be grown from cut flowers If you look for the little Pipings/side shoots where the leaf joins the stem, pull them off and put them in water - hey presto, new plants

                        Not very good with your Christmas dinner though

                        Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

                        Which one are you and is it how you want to be?
