Ode To Brussels Sprouts

englishtchrivy (72) in gardening • 7 years ago (edited)

You must have been through a lot...
being left outside to independently do your thing
through snow storm, ice and all the whims winter threw you ...

I admire your tenacity for I can't imagine myself standing still
while the chilly wind blows all day long
the whole winter season ...

Despite all of that, you've managed to achieve fruition
and among all the veggies I photographed
you look the prettiest and the most beautiful ...

Look at what you've achieved on your own
so I wonder why you felt like you needed to lean so hard on Kale
when I don't even think you need her support
you can manage on your own ...

Kale is heaving with your weight that a few of her leaves got broken
you must be heaving with all those mini cabbage - look alike sprouts
you've managed to bear ...
Can you really handle that much fruition?

Is it greed?
Do you want the whole patch for yourself?
You've already achieved so much ...
proven yourself to the world so much ...

So ... dear Brussels Sprouts, why are you all so damn bitter?

Brussels Sprout
: " You silly! Don't blame me, am normally nutty but you overcooked me again haven't you? Ever heard of half cooked? "!

Whaaaaaaaat???? Who says gardening posts should be too serious?

Thank you for posting @englishtchrivy.

Quite a lovely ode mon ami.

Odes are a favourtie ......bringing to mind one of Charles Dickens's characters who wrote an ode to a frog.

Artistic photographs of this veggie favourite.......this is one vegetable that just keeps on going.

Wishing you a lovely weekend as well... ^__^

Cheers.

THOSE look so great! I had planted some two years ago and last year we had an invasion of box elder bugs- they chomped every last bit of leaf and now my Brussels sprouts are no more.

Surely you don't overcook your Brussel sprouts? What did they do to deserve this fate?

I've always thought brussels sprouts looked like the freaks of all vegetables, but looking at your photo the leaves above them look kind of like a fancy headdress. I guess they are quite beautiful with their eccentricities.
