- It's been incredibly wet around here with 3" or more of rain every few days. The garden has taken quite a bit of damage, but it's time to see if we can salvage a Brussels sprout harvest.

![Growing Brussel Sprouts [ Increase Growth, Pruning and Harvest ]](/img/n.gif)
BTW I cook the leaves like cabbage. They are good. No need to waste all that growth.
Hey Travis.. I've heard you say many times to take chances when gardening. So I did. I planted a few potatoes deep in some raised beds 8 weeks ago ( zone 8b ) and and they sprouted 2 weeks ago and they made it thru all this rain. Just wanted to say thanx for encouraging me to take chances. This time it worked out. Happy gardening.
I love Brussels sprouts. I split em in two, steam them for about 6-8 mins. Toss them in bacon grease, lay on a cookie sheet and broil them till they start to crisp up. They taste amazing like that. No boiled sprouts in this house. Cutting them in 2 allows the flavor to get to the middle... Some kinda taste.
It's my belief that you should trim the leaves from the bottom of the plant to the top of it as it grows, and leave the top so that the plant will continue to grow and removing the leaves will let the nutrients and growth go into the sprouts
Love how HONEST you are!!! Same issue with my brussel sprouts. Northwest Ga.
Chloe at eight minutes is again the best!
You do a great job. It's my fault about the rain. I wanted to stain my porch and it's rained ever since.
Love your “positive attitude “. I am a newbie gardener in Central Florida. My Brussel sprouts are about 3 feet tall and just beginning to “sprout”. Summer rain has not started. Maybe crying later.
Your garlic in the background looks good!!! Gardening is like playing the lottery sometimes you hit the jackpot and sometimes you don't.....Thrive on....
I hilled my tomatoes last year, and used tailings from my gold panning hobby from the creek ,I guess the fish manure in it worked, I got over a thousand tomatoes with just 7 plants ,I'm gonna try brussel sprouts using same method!!!!!!!
Grew Jade Cross for the first time this year. I topped the plants about 6 weeks before harvest. The sprouts seemed to fill out after topping. I was fortunate to be able to harvest them before the rain moved through. Will definitely grow them again.
Hi Travis we love the Jade cross Brussels. I plant one per 10 gal grow pot, full of compost, Water as needed, feed with 20-20-20, and don't forget generous applications of Micro Boost. I've never been successful with Brussels until that combo of feeding. We plant them in early spring(as soon as the compost thaws) and start to harvest in Oct. They were so productive we air fried several batches for dinner. They are fabulous! Love the little ones raw, my retriever agrees with me..lol.
Enjoyed your video. I have a friend in Apalachicola FL that owns a fish camp. He compost fish remains with wood chips then uses it to grow the biggest cabbage and brussel sprouts I’ve ever seen. I’ve been gardening for over 40 years and subscribed to your channel, I’ll be watching!
I think if you try it’s not a failure. 🙏🏻🙏🏻 I’m growing 3 of your onions but I think in Cali we are too warm planted Oct. just sprouting in feb. love y’all. Salinas California 👏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️
I like the leaves, mix in with the collards and broccoli leaves. Taste great.
I've got some of your Jade Cross sprouts growing, but mine are still young. The sprouts are so tiny and cute! I like to sauté mine in bacon, onions and add cranberries towards the end of cooking.😋
Regarding Brussels sprouts Mother used to take more of the lower leaves off than you have which might help with gaining plant height and productivity. I never knew her to top them. I do recall he aim up here in the North was to have them for Christmas Dinner. Deer usually get mine in the snow before that happens. Bacon wrapped roasted brussels sprouts slow roasted in the oven are a delicious snack.
LOL Talking about UGA. I remember brussel sprouts at Georgia Southern college, before it was a University. They served brussel sprouts every day.
First experience growing sprouts was in a very large sorta window box in the front of the tongue of my big city Hill Billy trailer, in a trailer park. Built of old decking scrounged from father in law's newly decked deck... filled with 'swamp dirt' from behind his house wheelbarrowed to my car trunk... WOW! Never been able to repeat... Guarding the Garden: On the Deck... by the bucket. Delicious:
Got Arapaho Cayenne Pepper beginning to germinate in six days. Initial success. Thanks for your knowledge Hoss Tools! The Black Gold seedling mix and 162 cell Proptek trays were a big help.
