Brussels Sprouts
- About 100-200 seeds/g.
- Days to maturity are from transplant date.
Culture: Fussy like cauliflower and requires a long season. Start indoors no later than early April and transplant into very fertile soil. Give each plant around 9 sq ft. Wire hoops and row cover should be used at early stages to keep out flea beetles and swede midge. Very cold hardy; flavor is improved by frost and sprouts can be harvested past the first snowfall. Lop tops off plants in early September to encourage sprout develoment. When I experimented by topping some and leaving others, the difference was dramatic. Within two weeks the topped plants were putting all their energy into making sprouts while the untopped plants continued to shoot up more foliage and made only miniscule sprouts.
