Ode To Brussels Sprouts

[englishtchrivy]

You must have been through a lot...
being left outside to independently do your thing
through snow storm, ice and all the whims winter threw you ...

I admire your tenacity for I can't imagine myself standing still
while the chilly wind blows all day long
the whole winter season ...

Despite all of that, you've managed to achieve fruition
and among all the veggies I photographed
you look the prettiest and the most beautiful ...

Look at what you've achieved on your own
so I wonder why you felt like you needed to lean so hard on Kale
when I don't even think you need her support
you can manage on your own ...

Kale is heaving with your weight that a few of her leaves got broken
you must be heaving with all those mini cabbage - look alike sprouts
you've managed to bear ...
Can you really handle that much fruition?

Is it greed?
Do you want the whole patch for yourself?
You've already achieved so much ...
proven yourself to the world so much ...

So ... dear Brussels Sprouts, why are you all so damn bitter?

: " You silly! Don't blame me, am normally nutty but you overcooked me again haven't you? Ever heard of half cooked? "!

Thank you for posting @englishtchrivy.

Quite a lovely ode mon ami.

Odes are a favourtie ......bringing to mind one of Charles Dickens's characters who wrote an ode to a frog.

Artistic photographs of this veggie favourite.......this is one vegetable that just keeps on going.

Wishing you a lovely weekend as well... ^__^

Cheers.

Surely you don't overcook your Brussel sprouts? What did they do to deserve this fate?

During my school days i read a line; Gardening is very useful hobby. Today, i am convinced that it is not only useful but healthy hobby too ;)

Thanks a lot for the awesome photography and some wonderful captions in a sonnet way @englishtchrivy ;)

[englishtchrivy]

thank you
it is indeed healthy as long as it is organic
with sprays and chemical aids
you'll hurt yourself

[dwayentherock]

Wow it's amazing and also great photography

[goldendawne]

THOSE look so great! I had planted some two years ago and last year we had an invasion of box elder bugs- they chomped every last bit of leaf and now my Brussels sprouts are no more.

[englishtchrivy]

aw.. that sucks
sorry about that
here they won't thrive in winter
mildew is the pest of them sprouts though

[davitd]

That's pretty cool to know

[koskl]

Hindi ko nagustuhan ang mga ito. Mas gugustuhin kong mamatay mula sa gutom

[englishtchrivy]

hahaha
first Dutch and now Tagalog?
lol
kakain ka rin nyan pag wala ng ibang makakain

good luck with that haha ^ ^

[blazing]

Wow i never seen this in real this looks so awesome :D

[ginnyannette]

I've always thought brussels sprouts looked like the freaks of all vegetables, but looking at your photo the leaves above them look kind of like a fancy headdress. I guess they are quite beautiful with their eccentricities.
