I just checked my potatoes and got a huge one!
I expected the small ones but this one surprised me.
My /Brussel sprouts are loaded with baby ones.
How do I tell if they are ready to eat? I know you harvest from the bottom up, and not all at once. Too young and they are bitter.
They won’t be ready until the fall. They’re usually the last thing I harvest. They’re one of those things that like it cool again, and get sweeter after a cold snap or even some frost.
I broke my foot in August of 2011, so while my Mom and MIL and other friends came over to help me with everyday stuff and to harvest my garden, I told them to leave the BSs in. We had a huge dump of snow before it got really cold, so they were well insulated and I was able to harvest them the following spring! They’re tough as nails. :)
