We have had a cold winter this year. we have successfully grown Brussels Spouts but are wondering if the cabbage like top of the plant is edible?

Hi Val. I recently moved to Tasmania and am loving being able to grow the whole range of brassicas. We eat the lot - leaves, stems, flowers - of all of the brassica plants. What we don't eat, the chooks relish. I consider the tops of brussels, including flowers, to be a gardeners treat for break time grazing.
