Hi all
Novice veggie grower here. I planted some young Evesham brussel sprouts in mid March, they were about 4 inches high. One of them is now 4ft and still growing! It's grown 6 inches in the last 3 days.
Is this normal?!
All advice greatly received.

Where is it growing?
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
In the ground in my new veggie plot at the back of my garden, I didn't enrich the soil or anything like that. Just dug a hole and popped them in. The rest are beginning to catch up with the monster!
Hi, bought as plants from Garden Centre.
Oh heck! Thanks for the advice I am going to raise it with the garden centre. Meanwhile any one need a walking stick, i may have 6 to give away!!
Remember Jack and the bean stalk?

I think you need to grow these on and save the seeds Georgie

A giant sprout, now there is a happy thought!!
Dove - I think I will leave it, be interesting to see how high it goes.... will no doubt be asking how to save the seeds in the fullness of time...
Thanks all
