Saves electricity, wouldn't have to store them in the fridge

We picked a couple of dozen. Ate some, and the rest sat in a bowl untill
we tossed them. We still have a hundred or so on the plants outside. I
planted them late last summer, and they have been sitting, dormant, all
winter long, providing us with b.sprouts when ever we feel like braving
the elements to pick them

I grow Brussels and find that they keep extremely well outdoors on the
stalk - which can be cut off at the roots. I do cut the tops to have as a
different vegetable.
