Plant seeds about 1\/4 to 1\/2 inch deep in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Keep the soil consistently moist during germination and seedling growth. Once seedlings have 2-3 true leaves, thin or transplant to 18-24 inches apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrussels sprouts benefit from regular watering and a layer of mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize according to soil test recommendations. To encourage larger sprouts, you can remove the growing tip about 3-4 weeks before harvest. Harvest sprouts from the bottom of the stalk upward when they are firm and about 1-2 inches in diameter. Frost improves flavor, so plants can be left in the garden into late fall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e500 Diablo Brussels Sprouts seeds (Brassica oleracea).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67795590578486,"sku":"FOLIA2-611","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7127978620_7ob6.jpg?v=1792671808","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/diablo-brussels-sprouts-seeds-500-hybrid-seeds-for-planting","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
