Sorry, I didn't see this until now. I did grow some brussel sprouts last year. They were attacked by a lot of insects but I will be trying again this year. Hopefully, they will do better this time.

Large insects are easier to deal with than small mites, is my experience.
The only plants I have grown not mentioned in here then must be coffee arabicum and Aloe vera. Both useful plants IMO, but I'm an coffee addict too :)
Never had beans on them, but make coffee tea
Wow, I never would have thought I could grow a coffee plant. I see that it does pretty well as a houseplant but isn't likely to produce a lot of beans. I haven't tried coffee tea.
Aloe vera is good option. It is a very useful plant.
I need to take them in for the winther so I keep the coffee bushes in buckets. Snipping them from the 5th leaves so they become bushy. I have had them for two years now, but don't think the season is long enough for any beans to mature here as I'm at 63 deg north, zone 8a.
