Brassicas
VegetablesBrussels sprouts are a nutrient-rich, cool-season vegetable that thrives in well-drained soil and full sun. As a member of the Brassica family, they benefit from companion plants that repel pests like cabbage worms and aphids.
Their tall, leafy structure provides some shade for low-growing plants, and they grow best with consistent moisture and nutrient-rich soil. Slow-growing but highly productive, Brussels sprouts are a great addition to fall and winter gardens.
