Brussel Sprout Seeds
For a spring harvest, sow your seeds about three weeks before your last frost date. For a winter or early spring harvest, you'll want to start your seeds in mid-summer, so you can transplant them about eight weeks later in early fall.
Use Peat Pots
These plants are quite sensitive about having their roots disturbed, so using peat pots can make the transplanting process smoother and less traumatic for your little sprouts.
Soil
The pH level of your soil is another crucial factor. Brussels sprouts prefer slightly acidic soil with a pH of 6 to 6.5.
Transplanting in the garden
Space plants 16 to 24 inches apart in rows that are 30 inches apart.
Watering
Brussels sprouts like consistently moist soil, but not waterlogged.
Harvesting
In many varieties, the sprouts mature from the bottom of the stem upward, so harvest the plants regularly as the sprouts develop.
