SOWING:

Since brussels sprouts have its best flavour after a frost or cold weather direct sow seeds in late May to early June for a fall harvest. Plant seeds 1/4" deep with a spacing of 18"-24" apart, with a spacing between rows of about 36". Most importantly keep soil moist and ensure the soil is compressed around the seeds. Please note you can also start seeds indoors as well in seed trays or peat pots 4-6 weeks before anticipated transplanting time. Be sure to also provide adequate lighting for germination and for growing by placing the growing trays near a sunny window or using a LED grow light. Lastly be sure to harden off the seedlings before transplanting outdoors.

Growing Brussels Sprouts

When growing brussels sprouts please be careful when removing weeds so that you do not disturb the plants. If heavy winds are expected staking your plants will certainly be beneficial as it will provide additional support. As your plants grow remove the leaves from the stem that turn yellow to allow space and light for the sprouts to grow. Avoid overhead watering as well to reduce the chance of pests and diseases. Always water at the base of the plants. Lastly apply mulch to control moisture and control weeds.

HARVESTING:

Brussels sprouts are very easy to pick. Simply twist them off the stalk starting at the bottom. The sprouts should be about 1"-2" in diameter. Excellent eating fresh and they freeze very well also.
