Brussels Sprouts Long Island Seeds Heirloom, High Yield, Cold-Resistant

When to Plant
Start seeds indoors 68 weeks before the last expected frost. For fall harvests, sow outdoors directly in late spring or early summer.

Soil Requirements
Grow in rich, well-draining soil with a pH of 6.5 to 7.0. Work in compost or aged manure before planting to support steady growth.

Sunlight
Full sun (at least 6 hours per day) is essential for healthy sprout formation.

Watering
Keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal diseases.

Spacing
Space plants 1824 inches apart in rows 23 feet apart to allow room for mature growth and air circulation.

Fertilizing
Feed with a balanced fertilizer or organic compost monthly to promote robust plant development.

Harvesting
Begin harvesting from the bottom of the stalk when sprouts are 1 to 2 inches in diameter and firm. Regular picking encourages continuous production.
