    PSB help please

    2 of my plants have got ridiculously massive, and still growing!
    One has fallen over on its self and i do not think staking will help as it is far too heavy, i think the other one will shortly do the same. I think they will be fine if i leave them, just wondering what i can do to help them through the winter months, we get very strong winds at the beginning of the year. Really do not want to loose them or parts of them as they are such a treat when cropping one of my favourite things to look forward to.

    Any help always appreciated x
    I grow 70% for us and 30% for the snails, then the neighbours eats them

    Mine are doing the same. I am going to try and stake them with several stout stakes to try and keep them sort of upright.

      like Scarlet said and try tying string around the stakes and see how that goes.
      Have you anything at all that you might be able to use as a wind break?

      And when your back stops aching,
      And your hands begin to harden.
      You will find yourself a partner,
      In the glory of the garden.

        Iīm going to try, they seem to be some sort of monster broccoli, with about 6-8 main stems and about 1 and a half meters tall already. The other 2 have been crowded and shaded more so a lot more īnormalī
        Thanks

            I use broom handles for stakes.
