2021 Brassicas (end of season notes)

Broccoli (Belstar HM): first crop less discolored than usual, large heads were less uniform in appearance but tasty. Second crop was beautiful dark green, but later and smaller than usual, and hit by aphids, harvested main heads right up to last week of season. Seed 1-2 weeks earlier next year.
Brussels sprouts (Churchill J): grew tall, but sprouts hit by rot when young (probably too close together), plants were blown over in hurricane, and then there were the aphids… research and find a tougher variety.
Cabbages: first crop (Farao HM, Omero J): both varieties produced well, some cabbage worm damage. Second crop (Famosa HM, Early Jersey Wakefield BC): damaged by hurricane and cabbage worms, heads were smaller than expected. Leave more buffer space for less competition with Brussels sprouts.
Cauliflower: first crop (Adona HM): did well, some cabbage worm damage. Second crop (Adona HM, Amazing R) both had germination problems (probably dried out) so fewer seedlings than usual, good size heads, some cabbage worms, harvested right up to last week of season. Seed 1-2 weeks earlier next year.
Kohlrabi (Konan B): first crop excellent, do again. Second crop (seeded directly in soil) had some insect damage to leaves and had a more stretched-out harvest.
