Paul has always talked about how sweet those Brussels Sprouts were that he grew on the Tower Garden®.
He also remarked about being impressed with how many there were. Harvesting happens every few weeks, and in soil gardens, sprouts usually yield between two and six sprouts. Because produce grows 35% faster and produces more with a Tower Garden®, you will be harvesting a lot more sprouts.
Brussels sprouts are a cool-weather crop, and in the California Bay Area since we grow all year, I usually plant them in October and harvest throughout the winter month. Just because you don’t have a plot of land doesn’t mean you can’t grow you own food. It just means you need to get vertical!
Brussels sprouts leaves can also be used in soups and stews and are very nutritious. As the stem grows taller and begins to develop the actual sprouts, you can start to separate the lower leaves from the stalk, leaving the sprout to continue growing.
Here is an easy recipe from Kevin is Cooking. It’s a fantastic blend of flavors and if you’ve harvested your sprouts from a Tower Garden® you are really in for a treat.
