Sprouts are very tolerant of almost all soil conditions although they dislike acid soils. A firm soil is best in order to enable the root system to support these top heavy plants. They will grow equally well in sun or partial shade, but prefer partial shade.
Brussels Sprout seed should be sown in late March to end of April in a seed bed outside
They should be sown 1cm (half inch) deep and well-watered. Sow thinly, because crowded seedlings result in weak plants later on. The seedlings should initially be grown at least 10 cm (4ins) apart. Germination should occur in about 10 days time, maybe a little longer in cold weather.
Harvest from August-April
Start by picking the buttons from the bottom of the stem and working upwards.
