I have read that Brussels sprouts get sweet after being frosted twice. I
would leave them alone until that happens and then start cutting them off
from the bottom up, to allow the top ones a little more time to get bigger.

I have about 8 sprout plants growing in the garden, but the sprouts are
quite small.

Should they be ready to eat now or am I being a bit impatient?
