Plant seeds ¼ inch deep in seed-starting mix, keeping the soil moist and at a temperature of 65–75°F for best germination. Once seedlings have 2–3 true leaves, harden them off and transplant to the garden, spacing plants 18–24 inches apart in rows 24–36 inches apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrussels sprouts require consistent moisture and benefit from a layer of mulch to keep soil cool and moist. Fertilize with a balanced vegetable fertilizer according to package directions. For fall crops, start seeds in mid-to-late summer. Harvest sprouts from the bottom of the stalk upward when they are firm and about 1–1.5 inches in diameter. Remove any yellowing leaves to encourage air circulation and reduce pest issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e500 Nelson F1 Brussels Sprouts seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67824624861494,"sku":"FOLIA2-798","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6770033079_seg6.jpg?v=1793003728","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/nelson-f1-brussels-sprouts-seeds-500-high-yield-hybrid-seeds-for-garden-growing","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
