www.durgan.org/URL/?RSUTL 12 November 2006 Brussel Sprouts This is the last of my 12 Brussels sprouts. All were almost perfect, compact and full. I had difficulty even giving them away.

This question prolly should be in recipes, but the wife thinks brussel sprouts are bitter, do you have a way of taking that out!

They sweeten up if exposed to frost.

Got my brussel sprouts about ready to bloom. Planted Catskill last summer for a fall crop, but with the hot summer they didn't get planted as soon as I would have liked. But yet I did get a few messes after frost which the youngest boy just loved for they tasted so much better then what you get from the store. i seen they were going to start doing something so i picked the last batch about three weeks ago. They have over wintered just fine even with a few 5 deg. mornings on them. I thinned to the best plants for size, production, and vigor so now just waiting for my new seed to be recreated.
