- Sunlight needs: Full sun is ideal for Brussels sprouts, requiring at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.
- Watering requirements: Consistent moisture is crucial for Brussels sprouts. Water the plants regularly, ensuring the soil remains evenly moist but not waterlogged. Mulching can help retain soil moisture.
- Planting season: Brussels sprouts are best planted in early spring or late summer for a fall harvest. They thrive in cooler temperatures.
- Depth and spacing: Plant the seeds at a depth of 1/4 to 1/2 inch. Space the seeds about 18 to 24 inches apart in rows that are 24 to 36 inches apart.
- Germination time: Brussels sprouts seeds typically germinate within 7 to 12 days under optimal conditions.
- Maturity time: Brussels sprouts take about 80 to 100 days to reach maturity from the time of planting.
- Harvesting time: The best time to harvest Brussels sprouts is in the morning when the sprouts are firm and compact. They can be harvested from the bottom of the stalk upwards as they mature.
- Harvesting tips: Use a sharp knife or garden shears to cut the sprouts from the stalk. Store the harvested sprouts in a cool, dry place or refrigerate them to maintain freshness. For the best flavor, wait until after the first frost to harvest, as the cold can enhance their sweetness.
