Encourage students to take advantage of the free resources available at their local library. They may know they can get books, but they may not know that they can check out movies, video games, use the computer, or join community reading programs (many of which have incentives for summer reading).
Like cabbage and cabbage sprouts, Brussels sprouts are a cool weather crop. They should be harvested when the sprouts are small, compact and bright green. Avoid yellowing sprouts with signs of wilt rot or insect damage. Harvest sprouts when they are no larger than 1 to 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
Comments. 1  Can you please tell me why the Brussels sprouts I grew last year did not get very high and the fruit was poor. 2  My brussel sprouts leaves are dieing but the stalk has lots of sprouts does this cause poor development of sprouts. 3  I had great plants with no sprouts. 4  I have very small pea sized sprouts on my plants .
