Planting & Care

Start Catskill Brussels Sprouts seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost, or sow directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. 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.
