300+ Brussels Sprouts Seeds Catskill NON GMO Free Shipping USA

Description: Growing Instructions Before Planting: Brussels sprout seeds are planted in the spring for a fall harvest, but they must be sorted indoors 4 weeks before the last frost date. Planting: Brussels sprouts prefer a moist, fertile soil with a pH above 6.0. 14-16 weeks before expected fall frost , sow 3 seeds every 18-24", 1/4-1/2" deep, in rows 30-36" apart ; when true leaves appear thin to 1 plant per location. In late spring, sow 2 seeds per cell 1/4 deep. Seedlings should be ready to transplant in 4-6 weeks. Space 18-24" between plants, in rows 30-36" apart. Watering: Brussels sprouts don't mind water on their leaves, gardeners can water the plant freely. Fertilizer: Brussels sprouts are treated like broccoli and cauliflower and do not require lots of additional nitrogen to grow, but do best in well-drained soil. Days to Maturity: For the best sprout flavor, wait until after the first fall frost to harvest, as the frost provides a sweetness to the spouts. Sprouts are ready when their buds are green and above 1-2 inches in diameter. (100 days) Harvesting: After frost and until severe cold sprouts can be harvested. Pick when sprouts are firm and well formed, starting at the bottom of the stem. Break off the leaf below the sprout and snap off the spout. The upper spouts will continue to form and enlarge as the lower ones are harvested. Before ground freezes, pull the plant by the roots and place in a cool cellar. Can be stored for 4-6 weeks this way. If anything, please let me know. Thank you
