Wow! That's some brussel sprout plant, sounds like it should go
in the Guiness Book of World records If you see tiny sprouts,
you can cut the leaves off near these, and also cut the top bud
or growing tip, that is suppose to encourage the sprouts to grow.
They like cool weather though. I live in Florida and it's hard to
get sprouts of any size here, esp. when we have a mild winter
like this year. Do you know what variety of Brussel Sprout
you're growing? I grew one last year called "bubbles". It was
supposed to do better in warm weather. It grew much bigger than
my usual brussel sprout plants, but did not make very big sprouts at
all.
