Brussel Sprout – better in cold weather

The snow continues to fall and whilst it is very pretty, it does create some immediate problems. I have a plastic covered tunnel which I use as a cold greenhouse. I keep some pot plants such as fuschia in it overwinter. These do not mind being cold or even occasioinally getting frozen, but they don’t like to be wet during cold weather. So they live in the tunnel during winter and are kept totally dry.

Apart from harvesting some brassicas (Brussel Sprouts are  supposed to taste better after they have been frosted) there is very little you can do currently out of doors.
