sprouting up everywhere... So my new addition to my garden this year are Brussel sprouts. I know, I can feel people cringing at the mere sound of those words, but honestly, these mini cabbages are incredibly tasty when drizzled with some olive oil and sea salt and roasted on a high heat. I have turned many a Brussel sprout detester into lovers with this simple recipe. I wanted to grow these plants not only because they are a great vegetable, but they also help me with my goal of raising a three season garden. You don't harvest Brussel sprouts until after they've been cured with a hard frost, the same frost that kills off many of the remaining fall plants in the garden. But the thing is, I needed more info on how to grow these things, so I turned to my alma mater's website for the good word. Penn State's Life Sciences Library is a great resource of information for the home gardener. Fun fact learned... you should raise around five plants per person.
