GROWING INSTRUCTIONS: Sow: thinly, March to April, 1.5cm (½”) deep, in a seed bed. Keep soil moist. Transplant May to June, spacing 60cm (2’) apart. Plant firmly to produce best quality buttons and water well until established. Harvest: December-February. Start at the bottom, picking a few sprouts from each plant.
When all the sprouts have been picked, the leafy tops of the plant can be cut off and cooked like cabbage.
Brussels sprouts do best in an open, unshaded position on fertile, well drained, but moisture-retentive soil. Sprouts are a leafy crop and therefore require a fairly high level of nitrogen, especially as they have a long growing season. A top-dressing of high nitrogen fertiliser once the plants are established will be beneficial. Sites which have been well-worked and manured in the autumn before planting will produce the best crops. Do not grow Brussels sprouts in a part of the garden which grew brassicas in the previous season.
There is no need to fork over the ground prior to planting out – all that is required is the removal of weeds and any plant debris without disturbing the soil. This will ensure the young plants establish well and gives their roots a firm foundation. The plants can sometimes become quite tall and may therefore need earthing up to keep them secure in the ground.
