I have tried unsuccessfully to grow brussel sprouts.  I read a webpage
last night,
http://www.urbanext.uiuc.edu/veggies/brusselssprouts1.html
That talks about the long growing season needed, etc. etc.
All this time, I have been attempting to grow Long Island, and I'm not
sure I realized that there was at least one other type of OP sprouts.
After reading the review of the Long Island, I am thinking of trying a
different variety and was wondering what variety (OP only please) you
grow and where you live.  I know/realize now that part of my problem was
treating bs's like broccoli and cabbage, but now I see that it would
neve mature in time, which is exactly what seems to happen.  I did try
growing it in the fall, but haven't had much luck for a variety of 
reasons.  I'd appreciate any growing tips and especially variety selections.
