Description

Growing Brussels SproutsBrussels sprouts are a member of the cabbage family and an excellent source of nutrients. Named for Brussels, Belgium, where they were first cultivated in the 16th century, Brussels sprouts are a vegetable that is commonly seen in the grocery store, but not-as-commonly seen in the home garden. This is probably because they aren't the easiest vegetable to grow! They require a fairly long growing season (80-100 days to harvest) and are a cool-season crop, meaning that they produce best when grown for a fall or early winter harvest. The sprouts improve in flavor after a light frost or two.Due to Brussels sprouts need for a long growing season, we recommend planting them with a fall or winter harvest in mind. They do best when allowed to mature during the cool days of fall.Raised beds are especially recommended for cool-season vegetables, especially in the spring and fall, when temperatures are not consistent.Work several inches of aged manure and/or compost into the soil a few days before sowing or transplanting.Brussels sprout plants usually reach heights of 2 to 3 feet, so plan accordingly; they may require staking.This listing is for Seeds only, you will get the seeds.
