I have planted a bunch of brussel sprouts this year, it's been a while since I have tried them. In the past I have always removed the lower leaves and they continued to grow up tall, but didn't really produce very large sprouts. Should I remove the lower leaves, or should I just let them be? My hunch is that by removing them I made the plant grow taller, and they didn't put much into the sprouts. Not sure, but I'd like to get some with size once. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
