Today I transplanted a bed of brussels sprouts.

May I humbly suggest that you eat them when they are very small? That's the sort I like best.

The plants grow fine, lush, tall. And the set on plenty of sprouts .... but
the sprouts are as loose as little tufts of collards.

Someone who knows (I don't) may mention that a lack of a mineral or some such nutrient causes that. I have a dim memory of the soft Brussel Sprout Syndrome.

Let's see what other ideas turn up. Maybe there's a Brussel Sprout Growers Association of America.
