They're a big crop out on the island. Had too many of them? Grew them this year for the first time. What a neat plant. We had 19" of snow last week that has now melted. The sprouts are still on the stalks. Wish I could tell you homegrown makes all the difference but it doesn't. Same general taste. Just tighter heads and sweeter.
I saw them for the first time on the stalk out at Harbes farm. I always thought the grew in those little baskets.
