Love what you showed us I’m 60 been gardening along time never knew that about brussel sprouts thank you for the information good harvests and a blessed day thanks
Why don’t you eat the leaves instead of mulching them? They taste good. I mix my Brussels sprouts, broccoli, collards etc. all together when I cook them. Also good shredded in salads. 👍🏼
Have to tell ya, I simmered my brussel sprout leaves with onions, bacon and chicken broth and they were the best greens I have ever eaten! Only the stems went to my compost bin this year! Love your videos!
Good to know. I'm also in Florida 9b. I'll have to find your florida videos. Hope you're adjusting well. Though I'm a Florida native I know its a big adjustment. We grow September thru May and let our land rest during the miserable summer. Saves our backs and our sanity. Best of luck!
Not a fan of cooked greens but you had me at bacon! Will give it a try, I hate to throw food away. If I like sprouts, broccoli and some cooked spinach, I'll bet with the onions and chicken broth it will be yummy!
I went back and have been watching these older vids of you guys as the spring is almost here in the panhandle Fl. I wish I would have remembered sooner, the leaves of a Brussel taste as good if not better than collards. Season the same way and make sure to get them tender. Thanks for sharing your work.
Thank you for this video! This is my first time growing brussel sprouts. So i need to start cutting the bottom leaves off now. I pray they come out well! Again, i thank you both and have a great evening! ❤ 🙏🏽
Oh heck, I've got some work to do. I planted a bunch of Brussel sprouts on a whim and doing great, but it looks like I have few steps to take. Thank you
Hi guys. Just wanted to say thank you. I have Brussel sprouts in but wasn’t sure how to treat them. Mine haven’t started producing sprouts and now I know why. I wasn’t sure about trimming the leaves. Thank you again for the video it’s very informative Cheers from Australia.
I love your videos. always informative, clear and easy to understand. the leaves are great to eat as well substituted for cabbage or grape leaf for stuffing, stir fry as well as mixed greens. i mix Brussels broccoli cauliflower, collards, charbroil, radish and beat leaves in chicken stock in a crock pot over night all the health and healing in a side dish or main dish. god bless and thanks for the great videos
+Betty Robinson Thank you Betty. We will do a new video on Brussels Sprouts this year. We will be starting them From seed. This video was very noisy with road noise and wind. We figure we can do it much better this fall. Thanks for watching and your kind words of support 👍
So grateful I came across your video, God fearing people💗. I'm looking to try and grow some brussel sprouts on my balcony inside a flower pot. Pray for me. God bless you.
I LOVE your videos!!! Thank you so much for posting them. I have been trying to learn how to garden for vegetables...and your videos are straight and to the point! Thank you!
+Brenda Ferguson Thank you so much for watching!! So glad you have discovered the joys of gardening. I hope our videos help you to try new vegetables in your garden each year. Enjoy your garden this year. Have a peaceful weekend 😍😍🐶
I miss you guys. I pray all is well. Haven’t seen any videos. I pray The Most High God continue to bless you all. I learned a lot from the Channel. And still watch them today. Peace
So sorry. RUclips unsubscribes hundreds of our subscribers every week. Also, if you don’t watch any of our videos for more that 3 weeks RUclips stops our videos on your feed and notifications. It may be best for you to check in with our channel every Thursday and Sunday to see if we released any new videos. You can go to our channel and scroll back and catch up if you want to. We don’t want you to be left behind❤️
So happy to have found y'alls channel!! I am in Florida as well. We will be getting out property/homestead in about a year and I am always looking for great gardening tips for Florida's crazy growing seasons. Thank you!! 👍
U guys are awesome I've been threw a lots of videos and I'm blessed to have found u guys very great information my husband has PKD and we are starting to grow a lot on our own there's no cure but if we can prevent some of the complications by eating no chemicals and eating healthy...
+dulcemari77 Thank you so much for your words of encouragement! So sorry to hear about your dear husband, I said a prayer for him just now. Have a peaceful day in your garden.😍
My dad used to get his dialysis medicine delivered @ home & the driver always asked if we wanted the pallets,so we kept them and i used them to protect my garden from the wind.there held down with railroad ties..wrapped with chicken wire around the bottom and the pallets made a nice ledge for whatever hand tools your using
2 years ago i planted them and they grew about 3 ft tall but all I got was leaves.. I thought well I guess can't grow them in NY so last year I didnt try again.. I had no clue I was supposed to cut those bottom leaves!! I wish I would have seen this video sooner!
Great tips and advice. Thank you for sharing. I'll definitely use that information this season! And, a very inspirational bio. What an awesome story! Subscribed!
My first year I didn't know to cut the lower branches off so it was a total fail.. This year I knew i needed to cut them but I didn't know WHEN, lol.. One of my plants is already 4 feet tall and so I just went out there and cut all the lower branches. I hope they are ok!! I started them in mid may zone 6a.
Retired Nurse new beginner gardening. I love to hear you and your wife educational gardening. finally decided to start gardening although I live in Altamonte Springs. I would like to ask you for some sound advice. Looking for some land to buy but not to far from the city. Maybe 2-3 acres. Want to be surrounded by quiet good Christians people.
Hook up with a Realtor in Putnam or Marion county. Tell them what you are looking for and they can help you find a good spot. Most properties in our area start at 5 acres. Anything smaller usually ends up in a more suburban setting regather than country. The further out in the country you get the better the neighbors are.
Thanks for the information! Growing Brussels sprouts for the first time so we will see. I heard you say that you are in Florida and so am I so .... fingers crossed and prayers going!! 😃😁
Hi Hollis & Nancy, What a great video, I loved it. Its inspiring to see that what you have done with what you have. My hat goes of to you. I too enjoyed to passage from Job, a very true note indeed. Well done, I will certainly subscribe to your channel and may the full Blessings and Glory of God shine upon you both and your family for all your days, Amen. Take Care.
Happy to be a part of the family. As I'm in Australia, we don't have 4th of July like you do in the USA but I understand its significance and hope that your have an awesome weekend. Its 10:41pm here and I have been watching your videos for hours now, everything you do is amazing. You said in a video that you wanted to change the world for the better? Well, you have at least changed me, my thinking, my love for providing for my family and even sparked a little bit of a desire to get even closer to God. I even "liked" your Facebook page and will show my wife your recipes and videos in the morning. You both are truly amazing!
Good morning Hollis and Nancy I've started growing Brussels sprouts back in October of last year I haven't seen anything on the harvest I use black cow and 544 fertilize and brown leaves
Thanks for the video. Am thinking I will try sprouts again. My first attempt was a failure. But I love them, and want to have some to blanch and vacuum seal for the year.😋
@@melaniejohnson3130 started mine indoors this year to get a jump. My last attempt they were underdeveloped. This time they should have time to mature. 🤞
Been watching for awhile love your information about gardening. It has helped me a lot. Thanks 🙏 May God bless you and your family. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas ⛄ and a wonderful New year. In Jesus name I pray 🙏 amen
In case someone hasn’t shared yet or you’re still not aware, seeing this is 8+ years ago, chop and drop is better than tilling in the leaves which disturbs the soil. Lots of videos nowadays on the subject.
I love your videos .. god bless your family and land .. I’m starting my garden as well and tend to watch your videos a lot .. sending prayers out to your family and land 🙂
at 69 years old i gave gardening a shot with a small garden most things worked out good - tried brussel sprouts and the plants were destroyed by cabbage moths, any ideas on how to avoid this for next season ?
thanks so much, I am a new agrdener and my brussel sprout plants are kinda big but I trimmed the leaves off except the top ones and wil se how they go, I will be praying for the, GBY.
Thanks for the info. My brussel sprouts are eat up by bugs and only have pea sized sprouts so far. I have a 4 yr old no dig, organic cottage garden in my front yard. Only gets about 6 hr full sun. Back yard is even more shady. Guess I will wait and see what happens. This is my first time trying to grow them. I do better with flowers. I enjoy your videos. God sure has blessed you all.
Keep up the good work 👍. When they have very small sprouts that is usually a sign of too much Nitrogen. Next year add some bone meal in the hole when you plant them❤️
You got me to subscribe due to not only your knowledge of garden but more because I love Jesus Christ and I know you folks do to. The world is in an uproar at the moment today they are calling for prayers to hold back world war 3 while the covid thing is in motion. God bless you folks . Im not sure where you are from but im in the mountain valley of Maine. I loved this video from the start but loved it a lot more at the end I thank God for leading me here before I read s lil scripture today. ( I listen on line. ) Again, God bless you and if you need anything from.our area were famous for syrup blueberries deer hunting fishing and of course LOBSTAH! Hope to hear from you at some point
You guys MUST be on Eastern shore VA. I saw the big black drum in the intro and then the CHris bat and tackle shirt confirmed! Im across the bay in seaford,va
I use starter plants in till we can move to our rural homestead and build my greenhouse. We eventually plan to harvest and store all our seeds from our own crops but for now we use starter plants. You can see us planting the starter plants on our planting fall vegetables video.
So, Hollis! When do you start the sprouts. I know you live in zone 8/9 so your time might be different. I live in zone 6 but can't really find any accurate information on when to get these outside or, if I should begin them inside first.
+Barbara Rickman I am in Zone 8A (Newport News Virginia). I start my seeds for Brussels sprouts in July in my outdoor seed starter rack. I transplant the starter plants into the earth garden in late August.
Praise be Lord Jesus Christ! Found the information I needed. I find I need a great deal more detailed information for this zone. As the ocean temps change, so does our weather and man does it change FAST!. I found out that I needed to get my brussels in the ground NOW! So I did not seed them indoors. The won't be ready in this area till October or early November. Now to get my new favorite plants in the ground; that being rutabagas or as some call them, swedes.
When do you plant the sprouts? As I look at the plants, they look like they grow slow and the date on this video is late fall? I just planted mine from seed and it is June 29 2016. I think it may be to late.
I live in zone 6a and am a first time gardener in my 2nd year. I, like you want my own food because food in this area is so very expensive, Our Lord gave us this chance and we have embraced it with abandon. so much so, that my husband wants to expand the garden area and include fruit trees, which I am learning about, and will be my next challenge. I have to say I am enjoying every single moment. Thank you for the information and keep doing what you are doing. It really helps!
+Barbara Rickman Thanks for watching Barbara😍. Once you get that green thumb the next thing you notice is you need more space!! LOL. Enjoy the long weekend👍
I love your videos Hollis, just curious, what state and growing zone are you in. I live in Houston Texas and I'm not sure if Brussel Sprouts would grow in this hot climate.
How do I know if my Brussels are stunted ? Planted in mid September had to bring inside my new grow tent in November... seem to be doing well but there not as tall as they look in your video! Thanks in advance
Just to be a little pedantic: The quote from Job 12:8 (in the Greek Old Testament aka "The Septuagint") does not say "Ask the plants..".but "Tell the earth, if it might speak to thee." To me this suggests a 2 way dialogue between the gardener and the earth, both trying to teach, encourage and ultimately do the best for one another.
I set my plants out dec 9th and they still aren’t bearing. What is wrong? I clipped the leaves and everything. How long before they bear? I live in east Texas
Nitrogen.....I live in Mississippi.....you and I must add it to our soil to get these babies to put out. I tried to grow them for 3 years before I figured that out. You can test your soil or just go get fish emulsion and water it in.....then, in the fall use cow manure and till it in. Manure takes time to break down so its slow.....the The fish emulsion works fast because you water it in. Try it and see if that's your issue.

You can use those discarded leaves for cabbage rolls
Thanks for the video. Am thinking I will try sprouts again. My first attempt was a failure. But I love them, and want to have some to blanch and vacuum seal for the year.😋

at 69 years old i gave gardening a shot with a small garden most things worked out good - tried brussel sprouts and the plants were destroyed by cabbage moths, any ideas on how to avoid this for next season ?

What time of the year is best to plant Brussels
Thanks for the info. My brussel sprouts are eat up by bugs and only have pea sized sprouts so far. I have a 4 yr old no dig, organic cottage garden in my front yard. Only gets about 6 hr full sun. Back yard is even more shady. Guess I will wait and see what happens. This is my first time trying to grow them. I do better with flowers.

Keep up the good work 👍. When they have very small sprouts that is usually a sign of too much Nitrogen. Next year add some bone meal in the hole when you plant them❤️
Have you ever eaten the leaves? Kind of like collared. God bless you both!💓
Yes, I didn’t really care for them
Eat those leaves!!!!!!! Delicious!
Does cutting the bottom leaves off promote sprout growth?
i am in zone 6 an am wondering when i should plant brussel sprouts every where i im getting different dates
Why cut the bottom leaves? Also- my garden is on a hill and very b protected from the wind, so do I need to stake them?
As they grow the bottom leaves turn yellow and brown and fall off. I remove them from the garden so slugs wont hide under them.
Thank you Lord. God bless you all

how do i grow them again next year ?
I have mine in a kinda shallow pot it looks like I need to move them into the ground
Say wanted to know can you grow brussel sprouts in central Saskatchewan
Do you have any problems powdery mildew or aphids? Do you use anything to control them? :)
Neem oil for both
When do you plant the sprouts? As I look at the plants, they look like they grow slow and the date on this video is late fall? I just planted mine from seed and it is June 29 2016. I think it may be to late.

This was filmed in Virginia zone 8A
We now live in Florida zone 9A. We can grow them in the fall only
Brussel Sprouts will grow in Houston, but they are better as a fall crop. We also live around that area between zone 9a and 9b
Im just learning about Brussel sprouts. My plants have started to flower. Is it too late to fix my plants? They’re about 2 months old. Thank you
How do I know if my Brussels are stunted ? Planted in mid September had to bring inside my new grow tent in November... seem to be doing well but there not as tall as they look in your video! Thanks in advance
Learnt a lot from the video..
i havnt been able to find bamboo stakes like that any where... and also how do you keep the weeds down with exposed dirt..
We have the bamboo stakes on our Amazon Storefront on the about tab of our channel
Do you use bait fish when planting Brussels sprouts. Fabulous videos on their care and harvesting. Thank you for sharing
Yes
Do you have an update video? Great video!!
Not yet!
Hey I believe it's zone 10 I am in port st Lucie Florida 45 minutes north of West Palm
I’m afraid you may be too far south for any real success with Brussels Sprouts.
Just to be a little pedantic: The quote from Job 12:8 (in the Greek Old Testament aka "The Septuagint") does not say "Ask the plants..".but "Tell the earth, if it might speak to thee." To me this suggests a 2 way dialogue between the gardener and the earth, both trying to teach, encourage and ultimately do the best for one another.
Gasp!! No -you can compost the tattered traces but the good ones are excellent eating-like collards/kale.
Yep! I turn them into basically stuffed cabbage!
I dream if having a homestead
Thanks for this video. Is it good to put the stake when your first plant it?
Great Video!
By trimming the leaves, does that speed up development of the sprouts by providing more Sun exposure? Thanks!
Yes it does
Are the brussel sprout leaves edible?
Yes
God bless you too...
I set my plants out dec 9th and they still aren’t bearing. What is wrong? I clipped the leaves and everything. How long before they bear? I live in east Texas
Nitrogen.....I live in Mississippi.....you and I must add it to our soil to get these babies to put out. I tried to grow them for 3 years before I figured that out. You can test your soil or just go get fish emulsion and water it in.....then, in the fall use cow manure and till it in. Manure takes time to break down so its slow.....the The fish emulsion works fast because you water it in. Try it and see if that's your issue.
Can you eat the leave?
Thankyou for the video
when do you plant them ? are they full sun or part shade ??

I plant them at the end of August in full sun in my Zone 8A. We live in Newport News Virginia
I live in Norwalk, Ohio. zone 6A I believe. so these are fall season plants ? but our green house people have starter plants growing in the spring.

You should be fine planting at end of August
It said you could start in August and run through the last frost. Which would probably be somewhere in 1st of March
