Brussels Sprouts (Brassica oleracea var. gemmifera 'Long Island Improved') |
Have Biennials Fruits & Vegetables Brassicas Sow Indoors Under Lights Plants Successfully Growing |
Growing in garden. From DnD Swap - Kathy547 -12-2020 Wishes - L.S. Harts WV - 2023 All made it through the winter in zone 5b Illinois 2021. Start seeds in early May and set out transplants in May. You can also direct seed in late April. Fork in organic matter in the form of backyard compost or composted manure to the planting hole or row. Add mulch at time of planting to keep the roots cool and moist during the growing season. Plants should be placed 24 inches apart. Brussels sprouts need ample water during the heat of summer and can benefit from a starter fertilizer at time of planting. Apply fertilizers again when plants are 12 inches tall and again every three to four weeks. Some of the same pests that attack cabbage and broccoli can be an issue for Brussels sprouts. Gardeners can use floating row covers to protect these vegetables while they are small. Look out for cabbage worms, cabbage loopers and aphids. Cutting off tops of plants or pinching when sprouts begin initiates an early harvest but may reduce yield. Harvest can begin after the first frost when the sprouts are about ¾ of an inch to two inches in diameter and bright green. Make successive harvests from the base to the top as sprouts mature. As you harvest, remove the lower leaves. A new plant on the market is called Kalettes and they are a combination of Brussels sprouts and kale. 90-120 days |
