Guest guest Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 We are trying to grow brussel sprouts for the first time, they are still babies. Chard and kale grow well here (they still are babies). At least you do not have the Harlequin bugs to contend with. I hope you don't. That is why I planted the brassicas so late. , irene wrote: > > > I finally have some greens again.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 No, we don't have Harlequin bugs to contend with, but we make up for the lack with slugs! > We are trying to grow brussel sprouts for the first time, they are > still babies.

Thanks, though, Diana. ~ irene > I just read that if you mulch with gum balls (from trees not > chewling gum :>) it discourages slugs from going near your plants. > Diana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
