This is my first attempt at growing Brussel Sprouts in Tasmania East Coast, do I need to do anything special as they are looking nice and leafy, but cannot see any actual sprouts yet.

Hi Margo I had the same problem earlier this year and ended up eating my sprouts as spring greens. A friend who farms in UK told me they need a nitrogen-rich soil so although mine were in a commercial compost mix (Bunnings moo poo) I think that may have been the problem.
