Brussels sprouts are producing well. There is some insect damage on the outer layers of the sprouts, but no worms inside. Cutting the stem of the individual sprout easily removes the outer damaged layers. These plants will produce well into the frost period. some say the flavor is enhanced after a deep frost, but I see no difference. A few plants produce a great quantity of sprouts. The growing period is long, about six months plus. The sprouts can be picked as needed throughout the growing period.
