I never liked brussel sprouts up until a couple years ago. My DIL made some and they were good. She took a few of the outer leaves off before cooking. Then I found a recipe that has you blanch them for 10 min in boiling water. Next you cut and put in greased casserole dish. Add some bacon bits, shredded swiss cheese, and top with a bit of heavy cream. Put in oven for about 25 min. They are one of my favorites now. I’ll even eat them cold the next day.

I tried growing them in my garden this year. That didn’t go very well. I might try again next year.

That recipe sounds real good. I will have to try it sometime.

I grew Brussel sprouts last year and had a fair crop. I didn’t plant a lot.

I planted more this year and they all bombed. Maybe it was just too wet, as we had a VERY wet year. My onions did not do well, and some of my garlic rotted, but the peas, the rest of the garlic, and the potatoes did GREAT. So did the earthworm crop.
