Used for fresh consumption, freezing, and short-term storage. Instructions on how to grow Brussel Sprouts: Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before last spring frost. While starting seeds indoors is recommended, you may also direct sow seeds 4 months before the first fall frost. Raised beds are especially recommended for cold season vegetables, especially when seasons are changing and temps are not consistent. Work fertilizer into soil a few days before planting or transplanting. Plant transplanted seedlings 12–24 inches apart. Thin plants to 12–24 inches apart when they reach 6 inches tall. Water well at time of planting/transplanting. Fertilize three weeks after transplanting. Mulch to retain moisture and keep the soil temperature cool. Do not cultivate, roots are shallow and susceptible to damage. Harvest sprouts from the bottom of the stalk when they reach about 1 inch in diameter. Do not wash the sprouts before storing them, only right before use. Keep in plastic for up to 5 days, in the refrigerator. Protect the plant by mulching with straw or providing a cover if you plan to harvest into the winter. Happy harvest!
