Brussels Sprouts for Dinner

The garden landscape is brown, with withered plants, and cold rain soaked beds. Nights are frosty and some days it tries to snow. There are some plants that thrive in this winter weather.

The Brussels Sprouts (or just sprouts as they are called in England) and Red Russian Kale are vibrant and strong, as if it were summer. They are especially sweet at this time of year, because the Cole Family vegetables manufacture a type of sugar that protects them from the cold.

Find a local garden this winter and try some cabbage, broccoli, sprouts, and kale. You'll be surprised.
