Brussels sprouts are sensitive to temperature, and will produce best when daytime temperatures average about 65°F or less. Consequently, Brussels Sprouts grow best when planted in mid to late summer for late fall or early winter harvesting. Brussels Sprouts are usually planted indoors and transplanted outdoors. Start seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before setting outdoors. Spring planting should occur as soon as the soil can be worked, and fall planting should be done around June or July. Plants can grow 2 to 4 ft tall.
Requires fertile soil with compost and some lime. Apply mulch, grass clippings, or straw around the base of the plant.
Keep watered during dry and hot spells.
Use Slow Release (6 Month) Fertilizer when transplanting outdoors. Periodically apply Miracle-Gro.
Cut the cabbage type heads when they are ¾ to 1 ½" in diameter. Pick them before they get any larger. They are not as flavorful when they are big.
