I am planting Brussels sprouts this fall. I planted two plants this summer and they have very little sprouts right now. They take so long to grow I don't seem to have the right weather pattern for them.
I love them and I am determined to keep trying.
I love to grow spinach, kale and carrots in the winter. They seem to taste so much better when grown in the cold weather.
I protect them with a hoop house when the winter hits.
Let those brussels sprouts go they will keep going even after it turns cold and they will finish up nicely after the first frost. I never pick mine untill they have seen a frost or 2 I had 1 plant go all winter last year and I picked it in late Feb. I don't like them much but the wife said they were the best ones she had ever had.
