Hi, I'm growing brussel sprouts in Canada, about 2 hrs north of Idaho. It looks like I'll have a good crop from one plant in particular - planted in spring last year (so the plant is 1 1/2 years old). The sprouts are more firm and compact than the pathetic crop I got from its compatriots a year ago. Any advice on multi-year brussel sprouts? I'd like to do it again. Note: we get temperatures to -20C and frost goes about 3 inches into the soil. Thanks for your great column.
