Brussels sprouts

To tell you the truth, I really like Brussels sprouts!  Named for the town of Brussels, Belgium where they were popularized as early as the 1200's.  Eventually these cold-hardy mini-cabbages spread through the cooler European countries and popped up in North America around 1800.  A well-known vegetable that unfortunately makes rare appearances at the kitchen table, most likely because few folks eat them fresh-picked and home grown which is the ultimate flavour-boost.  Include a few plants in your garden and enjoy the Fall harvest.

Approx. 300 seeds/gram.

NEW!  ROODNERF 96 days from transplant.   In the world of brussel sprouts-gone-hybrid, try Roodnerf as a good open-pollinated (OP) variety.  You'll have plump green sprouts along the stem by mid-September, and they'll only get sweeter with frost.

NEW!  FALSTAFF 96 daysfrom transplant.   A purple Brussels sprout!  Tiny little red "cabbages" fill out nicely along stems in fall,  and hold their colour when cooked.  I've had such consistently good performance from Falstaff that this variety quickly became a garden staple as well as a beautiful eye-catching addition.
