Planting Tips:
Long Island Brussels sprouts grow best in cool weather and fertile, well-drained soil. Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost or sow directly in the garden once soil can be worked. Transplant seedlings with adequate spacing to allow strong stalk development. Harvest sprouts from the bottom of the stalk upward once they become firm and about 1–2 inches in diameter. Flavor often improves after light frost.
