Why do they taste bitter and sulfurous sometimes?
Overcooking. Sprouts contain glucosinolates that break down into sulfur compounds the longer they are heated, which is where the boiled-sprout reputation came from. Roast or sear them fast and they go sweet and nutty instead.
Do they keep better on the stalk?
Considerably - the stalk keeps feeding them and slows moisture loss, so a whole stalk holds for weeks where loose sprouts fade in one. It also takes up the whole fridge, which is the trade-off.
Does frost improve them?
Yes. Cold weather converts starch to sugar as a natural antifreeze, so sprouts cut after a frost are measurably sweeter. That is why they are a winter vegetable and not a summer one.
Alabama only. This one is picked fresh and never leaves the state.

Cut to order. We'll reach out to set a delivery or pickup time, usually within a day or two of your order.
Refrigerate on arrival. Fresh items are best within a few days.
A plant in a dark box is on a clock. Shipping early in the week means it reaches you before the weekend instead of sitting in a warehouse from Friday to Monday. It costs us a day or two of lead time and saves a lot of plants.
Practically: an order placed Wednesday, Thursday, Friday or over the weekend goes out the following Monday. We'd rather tell you that now than let you find it in a tracking number.
Typical ground transit from Lineville, Alabama after the ship day. Estimates, not guarantees — weather and carrier backlogs happen.
Tracking is emailed the moment your box is scanned.
A little leaf drop or travel stress is normal and usually sorts itself out within a week or two of settling in. If a plant arrives genuinely damaged, email support@wadegreens.com within 48 hours of delivery with a photo of the plant and the box, and we'll make it right.
The facts that decide whether it takes root, in the order that matters.
Sunlight
Full Sun (6+ hrs)
Six or more hours of direct sun. With less it stretches toward the light and flowering thins out.
Water
Moderate
Water when the top inch of soil is dry. Evenly damp, never standing wet.
Mature Size
1-3 ft
Where it settles once established. Plan the spacing for this, not for the size it arrives at.
Foliage
Herbaceous
Soft-stemmed. It dies back to the ground and returns from the roots — the top going brown is the plan, not a failure.
