    do you mean a bean sprout or brussel sprout?!
    If its a bean sprout, you are supposed to eat them when they are at the "strand of cress" stage. Not sure what they grow into if you keep them going!

    Haha! I didn't want to be cheeky in case you were a complete newbie (well I am too, but I know not to try and grow 1 bean sprout in the garden!)

    I can't help with brussel sprouts I'm afraid; maybe i should grow 1 sprout plant to provide the ritual 1 sprout eaten by each member of our family at christmas!

    Ours havn't done much either, some are bigger than others, but either way they are just sitting there. When I say bigger, I only mean I've seen bigger daisys :D

    I'm on the side of leaving them be, make sure you net them as the birds love them.
  • This thread has just reminded me...I still need to plant my sprouts. I've never grown them before, so I shall report back. Just hope they grow bigger than daisies :D
