Planting & Care
Planting & Care
Soil and Water: Brussels sprouts require fertile soil high in organic matter and nitrogen. They perform best with a pH of 6.5 and consistent moisture.
Planting and Growing: Best grown as a fall crop, start seeds indoors in June to set out transplants about 100 days before the first frost. Sow in flats and set out plants when then have 4-5 true leaves. When the lower sprouts are about 1 inch in diameter, remove the top most growing tip of the plant. This will allow the top sprouts to develop.
Harvesting and Storage: Allow the plants to be exposed to a frost, this will improve the flavor of the sprouts. Pick the sprouts when they are about an1-2 in size. The lowermost sprouts mature first.

Let customers speak for us
I grow flats of this for my pet pigs, because of the high nutritional content. They love it. I find them waiting at the growing location every afternoon waiting for their fave. I've grown beautiful flats of pea sprouts and alfalfa for them too, but they turn up their snouts and walk away.
