Description: 300+ Brussel Sprouts Seeds Catskill Brussel Sprouts (Brassica oleracea)Brassica oleracea Gemmifera Group—Brussels sprouts, Brussels sprouts are a slow-growing but very bountiful crop. Planting Brussels sprouts from seed outdoors requires a very long, cool growing season. Timing is important when growing Brussels sprouts. Time planting so that Brussels do not grow in periods of extended warm weather much above 70°. Sow and plant Sow seed directly in the garden 10 to 12 weeks before the first average frost date. Sow Brussels sprouts seeds ¼ to ½ inch deep. In flats or containers, sow seed 2 inches apart; when plants are 5 to 7 inches tall they can be transplanted into the garden. Space or thin plants 24 to 30 inches apart in the garden. Space rows 30 to 36 inches apart. Leggy transplants or transplants with crooked stems can be planted up to their first leaves so they won’t grow top-heavy. Be sure to firm the soil in around Brussels sprouts transplants so that they are well-rooted and anchored as they mature. The best average temperature range for Brussels sprouts growth is 60° to 65°F. Temperatures much above 70°F can cause Brussels sprouts to bolt and go to seed. Keep the soil around Brussels sprouts evenly moist; water at the base of plants. Give plants shade if the weather warms much above 70° Reduce watering as Brussels sprouts approach maturity. Plant Brussels sprouts with beets, celery, herbs, onions, potatoes; avoid pole beans, strawberries, tomatoes. Harvest Brussels sprouts reach maturity 80 to 90 days after transplanting and 100 to 110 days after sowing seed depending on the variety. Mature Brussels sprouts plants are not suited for temperatures greater than 80°F; sustained warm temperatures will leave Brussels sprouts bitter tasting and may cause their tight cabbage-like heads to open.
