I found this website about Brussels sprouts, and I might have solved my 
problem.  I knew to pull off the leaves as the baby sprouts appeared, 
but no one ever told me to cut off the top of the plant!

"As the harvest slows, pinch the top of the plant to direct nutrients to 
the sprouts. "

I'm chopping those suckers the first thing in the morning!

The page also states that I should start the seeds in May for July 
transplant and I have always seeded in early July and transplanted in 
late August.  I simply cannot wait to try this again! I am going to 
start some 9-packs tomorrow!
