Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in seed-starting mix or prepared garden soil. Keep the seedbed consistently moist but not waterlogged; germination typically occurs in 7–14 days at 65–75°F. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, thin or transplant to 18–24 inches apart. Brussels sprouts benefit from a sunny location and fertile soil; side-dress with compost or a balanced fertilizer mid-season. Water regularly to maintain even moisture, especially during sprout development. Mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. For best flavor, harvest sprouts after a light frost, which sweetens them. Remove the growing tip about 3–4 weeks before expected harvest to encourage uniform sprout sizing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e500 Catskill Brussels Sprouts seeds (Brassica oleracea).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67795558072630,"sku":"FOLIA2-517","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7175911427_25nu.jpg?v=1792671594","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/500-catskill-brussels-sprouts-seeds-heirloom-brassica-oleracea-bulk-vegetable-garden-seeds","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
