My Brussels sprout plants are getting too wide. May I trim off the leaves of the plant? They are invading my other rows and making it hard to harvest.

It is generally not advisable to cut back the leaves, as this may reduce crop production and open the plant up to pests or disease. If it is becoming too much of a problem, however, you can go ahead an take out a few of the most bothersome leaves.
