Planting Instructions
How to Grow Long Island Improved Brussel Sprouts
When to Plant Brussel Sprout Seeds
Start your seeds indoors around 6 weeks before the last frost in the Spring.
Where to Plant Brussel Sprout Seeds
Brussel Sprouts do best in rich, moist soil in full sun.
How to Plant Brussel Sprout Seeds
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
Keep the soil evenly moist by watering at the base of the plant. Brussels sprouts require 1" of water per week or more. Mulch around plants during summer to keep the soil cool. 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.
