Brussels sprouts are traditionally harvested throughout winter and are a mainstay on many people’s Christmas dinner table. The plants have a long growing season, sown or planted in spring to grow throughout summer ready to be harvested from fall onwards, depending on the variety.
There are two ways to harvest Brussels sprouts: you can pick individual sprouts or cut the entire stalk at once. I have grown Brussels sprouts for many years and harvested the vegetables to be used by chefs and sold to the public. I've tried both harvesting methods, and each has its advantages.
