The reason ours didn't work last year was that we direct sowed way too late, like in mid may. <br /><br />Best of luck!Goneferalinidahohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10001720343818923656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359929230952480074.post-67823628391360924072010-05-01T21:55:52.730-04:002010-05-01T21:55:52.730-04:00The cool season crops look good and I will keep my...The cool season crops look good and I will keep my fingers crossed for you that you succeed with the brussel sprouts this year.kitsapFGhttp://www.modernvictorygarden.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359929230952480074.post-3911475106874607852010-05-01T16:53:50.175-04:002010-05-01T16:53:50.175-04:00love the lady bug... :)

Currently, my lettuce crop is being systematically eaten each night by one or more rabbits.

I was a bit unsure of when to sow it but all of the articles that I read said to sow close to May 1st in order to harvest after the first frost (supposedly when it takes the best). However, now I'm starting to think that this is a bit late.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09303344546714641616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359929230952480074.post-21813239990284115072010-05-01T07:10:12.221-04:002010-05-01T07:10:12.221-04:00I hope you get to feeling well.

I swear by it. Good hand washing helps too. Looks like your gardening season is in full swing. If I lived up there I'd be most excited about the bloggers coming for a visit!tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415302577518111227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359929230952480074.post-63794033765606989752010-05-01T06:45:00.327-04:002010-05-01T06:45:00.327-04:00Your brussel sprouts look good.
