Diarrhea and bowel disturbance: Nearing labor your body will produce prostaglandins, a chemical which will cause loose bowel movements. A very unpleasant sign of impending labor, but one which does let you know the baby is coming soon. If you have been suffering from constipation, this may be a bit of a relief.
As a cool-weather vegetable, brussel sprouts do well when the plants are well-watered, especially during the hot summer months when they are first transplanted (for a fall harvest), or are reaching maturity (during an early spring planting).
in cold climates gardeners will often bury brussels sprouts plants up to their tops in hay or leaves in late fall then go pull off the little sprouts as needed during the winter you can store fresh unwashed sprouts in plastic bags in the refrigerator fresh sprouts taste best so limit refrigeration to a day or two
