@gardenzaddy: Can’t wait 80-100 days for Brussels sprouts? You don’t have to. Those leaves growing on your plants RIGHT NOW? They’re already delicious – and you don’t need to wait another 2-3 months to start harvesting. While your sprouts are busy forming, these greens are ready to eat from day one. They taste like kale’s sweeter, more tender cousin, and they’re perfect in literally everything. I’m thinning my seedlings here because I got impatient (and honestly, planted too many). Quick sauté in a pan, and boom – instant gratification while I wait for the actual sprouts. Bonus: Pruning off those lower leaves as your plants grow actually speeds up sprout production and improves airflow. So you’re not sacrificing anything – you’re getting an early harvest AND better sprouts later. Why wait when you can eat now?
