The cold only makes good sprouts better, wish I could find a pic that I have of 4 plants standing with the first snow on them, it was a awesome shot, really nice lookers there , bet they were GOOOOOOD Logged: 170.215.46.59 plants 'n pots Garden Pro! Member # 1672 posted                       We ate the brussel sprouts with dinner tonight - they were yummy! I steamed some for my husband and me, and my daughter ate them fresh since she prefers her veggies uncooked. I only wish we had more! Two other stalks didn't produce sprouts of any size - I think they were too shaded by the leaves of this one. I plan on enlarging that garden this year so hopefully we'll get more next time. bbbbbbbbb Lynne's knitting journal "I'm spayed, declawed, and housebound - how's YOUR day going???"

Member # 1672 posted                       Okay... it's almost 3 months after I posted about harvesting these brussel sprouts in the middle of winter. Now that it is finally warming up - 70F here today and very humid, I took a look and one of the stalks I cut back in January is growing from the bottom, and one that I didn't harvest because it had minimal sprouts on it is now growing like gangbusters! What do I do with these now? Do I let them continue to grow? I planted 12 peat pots of brussel sprouts seeds last week, and they actually started to sprout the day after sowing! growing from bottom of harvested stalk growing all along the unharvested stalk and the bottom bbbbbbbbb Lynne's knitting journal "I'm spayed, declawed, and housebound - how's YOUR day going???"
