Brussels Sprouts

Brussels Sprouts

March 8, 2014 @ 8:52 pm

A cool weather vegetable that will develop for a Fall harvest.  Don’t worry, they won’t bolt.   Pinch out the center growing point about mid-September to hasten development.   Sprouts are harvested from the bottom up when they are about 1” in diameter.  Flavor is sweetest after a light frost.

Varieties:

  • Long Island Green: (90 days) Stocky, semi-dwarf plants produce lots of tasty green sprouts on short, self-supporting stems.  Heirloom variety.
