Planting Instructions
When to Plant Brussel Sprouts
Start your seeds indoors around 6 weeks before the last frost in the Spring.
How to Plant Brussel Sprouts
Using raised beds is beneficial for Brussels sprouts. Move your seeds outside with 15 to 18 inches of space between plants. Plant the seedlings at ¼” depth. Water well after both planting the seeds and transplanting them.
How to Harvest Brussel Sprouts
Start to harvest your Brussels Sprouts when they are about 1 inch in diameter. Harvest the sprouts from the bottom of the stalks first.
*A light frost will help intensify the flavor of your Brussels sprouts.
