Sorry to hear of your disappointment. On our really exposed, windy site in the Pennines to the north of Manchester, our Brussels this year are the best ever. The variety, tried for the first time, was Crispi from Dobies which is apparently club root resistant. Good sweet taste, and large firm sprouts in spite of the rocking wind. I have used metal “road pins” – the sort that road menders use to support temporary fencing – as any wooden stakes snap in the high winds. Each plant is about 1 metre high and produced from early November right through to even now. They seem to “hold well” and not “blow”. What also helped was a fortunate gift of several barrow loads of really well rotted old horse manure.
