Like broccoli, these little "bonsai cabbages" are full of beta carotene, vitamin C and fiber. And after frost, they become sweet, as the plants create sugar for antifreeze! (Family: Cole, Brassicaceae)
Oliver replaces Prince Marvel. This cabbage is easy to harvest because bright green sprouts are well spaced. Plants are compact in height at about 75cm (30"). Oliver is an easy-to-grow variety of Brussels sprouts. The sturdy plant is vigorous and fast growing. Pick the small 3cm (1") bright green sprouts starting 3.5 months from sowing. Control aphids with hard blasts of water as soon as you see them in the garden. Matures in 3.5 months. (hybrid seeds)
