Brussels Sprout Brodie F1 Seeds

• For best results, prepare planting position by digging in some manure in the autumn before sowing.
• Pick sprouts from the bottom of the plants and work upwards.
• The loose ‘cabbage’ top can also be eaten.

How to grow Brussels sprouts

• Sow outdoors, March to April, thinly in a seed bed, 1.5cm (½in) deep, directly into finely prepared fertile soil that has already been watered. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days. Water well until plants are established. Transplant 60cm (24in) apart both ways when seedlings are about 10cm (48in) tall. Plant firmly and water well. If planted in exposed areas, support with canes and string to protect from strong winds.
• Or sow indoors, February to April, 0.5cm (¼in) deep, in a tray of compost. Water well and place in a cold frame or unheated greenhouse. Keep moist. Transplant 5cm (2in) apart to other trays when large enough to handle.
• Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out.

Harvest: Pick from November to January or even February. Try cutting whole stalks and keep the sprouts attached – they will keep much better for longer.
