How to Grow Brussel Sprouts ( ADVANCED ) Growing Guide

[@drvinson8947]

Why don’t you eat the leaves instead of mulching them? They taste good. I mix my Brussels sprouts, broccoli, collards etc. all together when I cook them. Also good shredded in salads. 👍🏼

[@Bellanaria]

Oh wow I didn't know about the leaves. Thank you

[@bmaybe9708]

Would love to see a video on growing brussel sprouts in containers.

[@aaronnuffer4220]

Thank you so much for this video. Growing brussel sprouts for the first time this year and this was beyond helpful! Keep making more

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

You are so welcome!

[@patbyrd9038]

Love what you showed us I’m 60 been gardening along time never knew that about brussel sprouts thank you for the information good harvests and a blessed day thanks

[@tammytamz3046]

It’s my first time visiting your channel and I can already tell you are a keeper! 🙏

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Wow, thank you!

[@JoyAdele68]

Have to tell ya, I simmered my brussel sprout leaves with onions, bacon and chicken broth and they were the best greens I have ever eaten! Only the stems went to my compost bin this year! Love your videos!

[@MmMm-dy1jb]

Thank you Joy.....your reply was the answer I was looking for!...👍🌱

[@JoyAdele68]

Good to know. I'm also in Florida 9b. I'll have to find your florida videos. Hope you're adjusting well. Though I'm a Florida native I know its a big adjustment. We grow September thru May and let our land rest during the miserable summer. Saves our backs and our sanity. Best of luck!

[@gabbygertie8709]

Not a fan of cooked greens but you had me at bacon! Will give it a try, I hate to throw food away. If I like sprouts, broccoli and some cooked spinach, I'll bet with the onions and chicken broth it will be yummy!

Hi guys. Just wanted to say thank you. I have Brussel sprouts in but wasn’t sure how to treat them. Mine haven’t started producing sprouts and now I know why. I wasn’t sure about trimming the leaves. Thank you again for the video it’s very informative Cheers from Australia.

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

+Betty Robinson Thank you Betty. We will do a new video on Brussels Sprouts this year. We will be starting them From seed. This video was very noisy with road noise and wind. We figure we can do it much better this fall. Thanks for watching and your kind words of support 👍

[@cmbowtie]

I went back and have been watching these older vids of you guys as the spring is almost here in the panhandle Fl. I wish I would have remembered sooner, the leaves of a Brussel taste as good if not better than collards. Season the same way and make sure to get them tender. Thanks for sharing your work.

[@simplymynz8379]

So grateful I came across your video, God fearing people💗. I'm looking to try and grow some brussel sprouts on my balcony inside a flower pot. Pray for me. God bless you.

So sorry. KZbin unsubscribes hundreds of our subscribers every week. Also, if you don’t watch any of our videos for more that 3 weeks KZbin stops our videos on your feed and notifications. It may be best for you to check in with our channel every Thursday and Sunday to see if we released any new videos. You can go to our channel and scroll back and catch up if you want to.

Retired Nurse new beginner gardening. I love to hear you and your wife educational gardening. finally decided to start gardening although I live in Altamonte Springs. I would like to ask you for some sound advice. Looking for some land to buy but not to far from the city. Maybe 2-3 acres. Want to be surrounded by quiet good Christians people.

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Hook up with a Realtor in Putnam or Marion county. Tell them what you are looking for and they can help you find a good spot. Most properties in our area start at 5 acres. Anything smaller usually ends up in a more suburban setting regather than country. The further out in the country you get the better the neighbors are.

[@Gillianfife]

Thank you have pruned and staked my brussel plants.

[@NaturesInfiniteWELLth-fo6rs]

In case someone hasn’t shared yet or you’re still not aware, seeing this is 8+ years ago, chop and drop is better than tilling in the leaves which disturbs the soil. Lots of videos nowadays on the subject.

Just to be a little pedantic: The quote from Job 12:8 (in the Greek Old Testament aka "The Septuagint") does not say "Ask the plants..".but "Tell the earth, if it might speak to thee." To me this suggests a 2 way dialogue between the gardener and the earth, both trying to teach, encourage and ultimately do the best for one another.
