BRUSSELS SPROUTS
Statuesque 'sprout plants create a mini-forest amongst the other crops. Whorling rows of neat, tightly wrapped sprouts crawling up each stem paint a satisfying picture to even the most seasoned grower. Speaking of seasoning, the true magic of Brussels sprouts is unlocked with heat- be it steam, grill, oven, or pan- a bit of oil, cheese, or smoked meat, and just a pinch of salt. To go from seed to heat, be sure to check out the excellent growing tips on Bejo's YouTube channel (Hint: It's Nitrogen + Timing!).
