Brussel time

I've had these brussel sprouts growing for a while now so i have now planted them in my overcrowded bed to hopefully get some more growth from them. I would like some brussel sprouts for Christmas at least because that's the only time i really eat them, because as it says on the stake "i hate Brussels" it is true. My soil is pretty firm and i have planted it next to the courgette which will shelter it from heavy winds,and i have staked them for support.
