How to Grow Brussel Sprouts From Seed

 

# 1 | Since frost brings out the best flavor in brussel sprouts, plant them late in May or early in June for a fall crop. Start the seeds by planting them 1/2" deep in soil.

 

# 2 | Seedlings should emerge in 10-24 days.

 

# 3 | When your brussel sprout seedlings grow to 6" tall, transplant or thin them 2' apart. Compress the soil around the seed and keep the ground moist.

 

# 4 | Mulch to preserve the moisture in the soil. Remove weeds carefully to avoid disturbing the plants. If heavy winds threaten your plant, provide a stake for support. As the leaves on the stem turn yellow, take them off so that the sprouts can freely develop
