BRASSICAS

A supply of greenstuff requires some plan- ning and successional sowings to ensure enough young plants to stock the plot. Brussels sprouts should be planted out now as well as cabbage and cauliflower for late autumn use and broccoli for winter. A setback sometimes encountered is the attack of the fly which can be warded off with a derris dusting applied at ground level.
