a leafy green vegetable belonging to the brassica family The brussel sprout plant has a thick stalk that can grow up to 3
feet (1M) tall. The leaves are dark green, or redish purple in some varieties, have a rounded shape and grow in whorls up
the stem. The edible portion of the plant is the sprouts. They grow on the stalk of the plant, in the leaf axils (between
each set of leaves), maturing from the base of the stem 1st and continue up the stem. Once picked from the stalk no further
sprout will grow from that position. A single plant may produce 80-100 sprouts or roughly 2-3 lb (approx 1-1 1/2 kg) of sprouts.

Brussels sprouts, is a hardy, slow-growing, long-season vegetable belonging to the cabbage family.
In the proper season of the year, it can be grown with fair success in most areas of the country. In mild areas, or where
there is deep snow cover, the sprouts may overwinter.
The "sprouts" (small heads that resemble miniature cabbages)
are produced in the leaf axils, starting at the base of the stem and working upward. Sprouts improve in quality and grow best
during cool or even lightly frosty weather. Brussels sprouts require a long growing period, though newer hybrids have greatly
reduced this requirement. In all but the most northern states, summers are usually too warm for completely satisfactory production
from spring plantings. Plants set out in late spring to early summer grow satisfactorily and mature high-quality sprouts when
the fall weather begins to cool.
