					<description><![CDATA[So, yesterday, we talked about &#8220;force maturing&#8221; tomatoes. Well, there&#8217;s another crop we can do this with! If you&#8217;re aiming to get Brussels spouts this season, this will help you a lot! Despite seed maker&#8217;s claims, most Brussels sprouts will take their sweet little time to mature. Hopefully you at least tried to get 120-ish [&#8230;]]]></description>

We talk a lot about leaning into our cold climate, and by that, we grow a lot of brassicas!

Broccoli is a very heat sensitive plant. It absolutely loves to flower, especially once it starts getting even a little bit of heat. It&#8217;s important to watch your plants fairly [&#8230;]]]></description>

Even in the occasional long, Indian summers that we&#8217;ll occasionally get. We&#8217;re expecting low 20&#8217;s by next week, so the sense of &#8220;the garden is done&#8221; urgency is now decidedly upon [&#8230;]]]></description>

Cabbage is an excellent northern crop, growing exceptionally well in our cooler climate. As many of you know, massive cabbages are produced every year and displayed in our state and community fairs. We intentionally don&#8217;t grow those exceptionally [&#8230;]]]></description>

If you want your Brussels to come in full by the end of the season, you&#8217;d do well to heed this advice. Right about a month to our first frost, we top of Brussels Sprouts.

For the most part, this genus is well understood in western cultures. It encompasses the usual favorites including your cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, brussels sprouts and so on. It&#8217;s the staple of [&#8230;]]]></description>
