Featured Review: Brussels Sprouts Tasty Nuggets Hybrid - 1 Pkt. (125 seeds) |
|
Brussels Sprouts Tasty Nuggets Hybrid - 1 Pkt. (125 seeds)
Average Customer Rating  4.3 out of 5
"78 days to harvest from setting plants out in the garden. These small 1""-1 1/4"" sprouts look like miniature heads of cabbage. They are tastiest when cooked just to the point of tenderness. The flavor is improved by a few light frosts. Burpee Exclusive.<p>GARDEN HINTS: Grow as a fall crop in the North, as a fall and winter crop in frost free areas. Grows best in cool weather. Pick the lowest sprouts on the stem and remove accompanying leaves, but NOT top foliage."

BEST SPROUTS
October 17, 2007

"I have been growing Brussels Sprouts for four years now. I have tried Jade Cross, Long Island Improved, and Tasty Nuggets. Tasty Nuggets far surpasses the others for size and taste. The plants are five to five and a half feet tall with loads of large sprouts. I have been harvesting for about 12 weeks and are still going strong at the end of October. I will definitely plant Tasty Nuggets again next year."

Frost Damage–or Disease? |
These plants don’t look too happy, but I’m not sure if it’s the cold that put them in a snit, or a viral infection. Left to right: Daylily 2E, Colchicum giganteum, Daylily 4B, C....

| Master Gardener Marty Wingate says the shed, once the denizen of dusty corners in the backyard, has emerged to become an outdoor living space, as likely to host a tea party as to store a lawn mower. |

The hot topic: compost |
| The question of the day in the Guardian's G2 features section today is "how do I avoid smelly compost"? written by, er, me. As regulars will know, I get unfeasibly excited by composting, so this was a pleasure to write. Meanwhile in the latest edition of Weekend Martyn Cox finds out what trends and plants will be red hot at Chelsea and Carol Klein writes about plants for texture. Also: I am currently loving my sempervivums and lusting after this. |

What I have been up to at Horticultural Towers |
| I've been a busy little bee of late: in addition to my "day job" editing the gardening pages of Weekend mag, and trying to move house (don't ask. No, really, don't ask ... I might explode with frustration). I have written a couple of extra things - a panel for the Guardian's G2 features supplement on theft from gardens (scroll down for my bit, a lighthearted look at what plants will and won't attract the attentions of any fashion-conscious thief - yes to topiary, no to pampas grass) and something for guardian.co.uk on composting timed to coincide with Compost Awareness... |

African violets - hot or not? |
| One of the most popular posts I have ever written on this blog is this one on how to look after African violets. I have had a couple of questions from readers of late on how to care for their Saintpaulias, so I thought I'd return to the subject. I recently bought Andy Sturgeon's excellent book on indoor plants, Potted, and loved it all, barring one thing - he includes African violets in his list of plant "pariahs" - the deeply naff species that render you deeply uncool. I love African violets, though, and my one-woman campaign to rehabilitate the... |

Toddler proofing your plants, part two: ponds |
| As some commenters have indicated in my previous post on toddler-proofing the garden, ponds are widely considered a no-no with small kids. There's a really good RoSPA factsheet that explains why and lays out the precautions you need to take if you decide to have a pond when there are under-fives around. There have been many tragic cases of toddlers drowning in just a few inches of water, so you really can't be too careful. Having said that, I do know a couple of people who have largeish ponds and small children and have never had a problem - they... |
