Another wonderfully timely topic! We tried Brussel sprouts for the first time this year and they've taken a bit of a beating in the non-existent summer we've had in the Northeast. So far, the stalks have grown like some mutant outerspace plant and the sprouts are slow a comin'....Not sure if they are going to make it to fruition. This article will help--maybe we'll try them again now! I'm looking forward to more spinach and more lettuce.
