Oh My, you need a proper recipe for Brussel sprouts! Half/quarter large sprouts In a large mixing bowl add chopped onion, garlic, some oil, heavy amount of real maple syrup, heavy on dijon mustard, & S&P to taste. Use parchment paper on a pan with an edge & lay out the mixture Cook at 425 degrees Let it get some browning/ usually 30-40 monutes/caramelization on top & then mix it a bit & do the same to finish. Caramelization is key. Enjoy

This part of most of the country starts brussels in early spring. The dagan variety grows well as does nautica. What I read about removing lower leaves is it gives the Brussels more room to develop. Topping the crown is done about a month before harvest for those that are not seeing brussels develop as it allows the energy to concentrate there instead of growing taller. They apparently liked more clay soil and do need nitrogen and water, but many have problems if there is not enough boron. I start picking them from the bottom and generally like to wait for a frost as the flavor is sweeter. I did notice a lighter green on the stalks you didn’t prune unless it was just the lighting. They taste better if not too large as they can get bitter.

Thank you so much! I am absolutely blown away by the results. I have always taken the flower tops off and slowly trimmed back leaves from the bottom up. It's a lot of work and the results are hit and miss. Why in the world would I go thru all the extra work if you just leave them be and they do their thing with extra Nitrogen? Making my life much easier! Oh... and we do frog's balls in the same recipe we use for hot pickled okra (okri 😁) I use red pepper flakes, cumin, mustard seed, turmeric, salt (normally kosher salt) and apple cider vinegar and not a lot of sugar... I back off on the sugar a bit. And I leave the whole but poke holes in them with a toothpick... like a gherkin. I don't boil them. I rinse them, pack them in a quart jar (not to tight) and put a tablespoon of salt and warm water... warm enough to melt the salt. Twice a day for two days I shake up the salt mixture, dump out the salt water...then do it again. After 2 days I make the vinegar brine, dump the salt water, add a 1/2 tsp of pickle crisp per quart jar and top with the hot brine. Seal and can or just stick them in the fridge... they don't last long.

Still can't get the brassicas to fatten up. Maybe I'll dump the nitrogen on as you suggested.

We got sprouts on all of our plants this year. First time ever! We used organic fertilizers only and did not prune. I had to keep my wife from picking the sprouts as they grew. I’ve personally decided to get rid of any general NPK fertilizers, and am going organic, feed the soil, this year. I’ve done organic fertilizers in the past, but have read that when something is started with a non-organic, the plant produces a hormone that doesn’t work organics very well. It will be interesting to see my results this year.

Well he wasn't 6 foot 4 and full of muscles, but he came from Brussels! Guess what about the only thing he grew was? Our subject at hand, and he gave my family bushels of them! Us kids hated it! Luckily I grew outta it, aquired a taste for them and actually today see them, as the food of the gods! I only boil or preferable steam them, some fresh cracked pepper and a dash of Lawry's seasoned salt, thats it before cooking. No butter! Way I like them!

I think that fert amount and fert schedules are something that gardeners struggle with. When I first started I didn't think much about it, but as time went on I have used a lot more fert --- mostly organic (compost, blood, bone, fish, etc) but also standard synthetic (still tend to use a synthetic on my tomatoes along with the organic because the synthetic for tomatoes tends to have the micros like copper that tomatoes need --- I have tried without and they didn't do as well). Even a lot of gardening books and blogs don't talk about this issue --- oh they will have 2 pages on why to use organic and types but not what each part of NPK really does, how much for each plant, or when --- they use very undefined terms like "heavy feeder" --- well 80% of the plants fall into this label --- are they all the same and how much does that mean!?!. I also found that by going organic, I really never have to worry about "over" fertilizing them. The plants don't seem to care --- I still try not to because it is a waste of money and the extra can leak into waterways, which isn't good for the environment --- though I don't think ones that are bonded like compost and blood leak so much, but I know that liquid fish base like the nature safe will because I did some testing of a creek and lawn ferts for a science project I did in college. When I lived outside of Philly, I had a co-worker that loved brussels sprouts. When it was that time of year, his whole backyard was filled with them and he did an amazing job. He basically only planted Brussels sprouts for this fall/winter/spring and super hot peppers for summer --- nothing really else in his garden. I personally have not had much luck with them as I just always miss my timing window --- they are not my favorite so they are not always on my mind.

I do this and I don't even blanch them first.. they are wonderful in soups as are the sprouts after freezing...you have so many I hope that if you don't care to use them you would take them to food banks or offer them up to the locals for free.. food security and nutrition issues are a reality for many... :)

Years ago I decided not to blanch and preserve veggies. I cook them fully. Like a huge pot of peas then freeze them fully cooked and seasoned. All I need to do is thaw em and nuke em. Since you have the Brussel Sprouts, try cooking them fully, vaccuum seal in portions your family would eat in night. Saying all this, Ive never done this with Brussel sprouts but I do Collards and Spinach this way and its still taste fresh and delicious. Vaccuum sealers are the answer.

Aren't the 2 rows different types? Could that be part of the height difference?

Just a few plants from a different variety in the unpruned row. Most all the plants were the same variety.

They tell us here the wrong time to plant here in Louisiana. They say set out in the spring.

Probably not as well as they would if they had leaves.
