You have to admit, Brussels sprouts are a nice touch in the garden this time of year. Can't beat the name either: Bubbles! This is the first time to grow them and I don't really know how much I'll like them. I suspect, though, they'll be quite appealing in December & January. 
The plants in this group are actually about two feet apart, but they are filling that space fast. The leaves are getting munched on by something, but so far, I think there is enough to share.The seedlings got their start back in August.

I've never been brave enough to grow brussels sprouts. It is such a struggle to keep any brassica away from the pests. I have to make do with freshly dug parsnips and leeks for my Christmas dinner!
They look so lush! I really enjoy eating brussels sprouts, but not everyone shares that taste ( especially in my house).
I really liked your cloche, too... wish I could construct one of those.
Your brussels sprouts look very healthy....hope you enjoy the finished product!
