A vigorous and abundant cropper, it’s no wonder Brussels Sprout Evesham Special is a firm favourite among gardeners. It’s bountiful crops are ready from September – Christmas, and the compact plants grow to around 60cm, making them ideal for smaller spaces or exposed conditions. The secret to growing good brassicas is to keep your soil well fed, as these crops have high nutrient requirements. They also need a slightly more alkaline soil than most garden crops, so the addition of a little bit of garden lime before planting can work wonders. Also make sure you keep them well netted – pigeons go crazy for these plants and will pick your crops for you if you’re not careful!

What to do when your plants arrive
- Unpack them. Your seedlings will arrive carefully packed in bio-degradable straw, cardboard and paper. They may look a little bit bedraggled from their journey. Don’t panic – this is totally normal and they should soon perk up. Please try and unpack your plants as soon as they arrive, as every extra hour they spend in the box will add to the stress of travelling to their new home.
- Give them a drink. Having spent a day or two in the post, your new plants will be thirsty! Stand them up in some fresh water for a few minutes to make sure their roots have been thoroughly soaked before planting.
- Plant them out into their forever home! Your plants can’t wait to get their roots into the soil. Plant them out according to the instructions that will have come in the box with them. Make sure you water them in well, and give them plenty to drink until their roots have had a chance to get settled.
