How Brussels Sprouts Grow

Usually when you buy Brussels sprouts in the grocery store, they are sold as individual sprouts in a bin or packaged in a bag (or even frozen).  But have you ever seen how they grow?

If you're lucky, you might find a Brussels sprout stalk for sale at a farmers market this time of year.  

Or maybe, like me, you're lucky enough to have grown Brussels sprouts in your garden!
