How to Germinate Brussels Sprouts Catskill

How to Germinate Brussels Sprouts Catskill (Brassica oleracea)

  • Sow Brussels Sprouts seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date in spring.
  • Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting trays filled with a well-draining potting mix.
  • Keep the soil moist and maintain a temperature of 65-75°F (18-24°C) for optimal germination, which usually takes 5-10 days.
  • Provide ample light using grow lights or place near a sunny window to encourage strong seedling growth.
  • Once seedlings have developed 2-3 sets of true leaves, transplant them outdoors, spacing them 18-24 inches apart.
  • Harden off seedlings for about a week before transplanting to help them acclimate to outdoor conditions.

Additional Tips

  • Brussels Sprouts prefer full sun and fertile, well-draining soil enriched with compost or organic matter.
  • Water consistently to keep the soil moist, especially during dry spells, to ensure proper sprout development.
  • Apply a balanced fertilizer every 3-4 weeks to support healthy growth and sprout formation.
  • Mulch around the base of the plants to retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds.
  • Harvest sprouts from the bottom of the plant upwards when they are firm and about 1-2 inches in diameter.
