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!

http://www.veggieharvest.com/vegetable-garden/brussels-sprouts.html

"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!
