Description
Long Island Improved Brussels Sprouts
A delicious vegetable for fall and winter use. Have a mild cabbage-like flavor, but are more tender and tasty. Frost improves their flavor. In most areas grown for fall harvest but in mild-winter areas can be planted later for winter and spring use. Good fresh or frozen.
When and where to plant
For early crop start seeds indoors in pots or flats 6-8 weeks before seeing out. For later crop start seeds outdoors in a warm and sunny location after last frost. Sow fall crop 10-12 weeks before fall frost date. Loosen soil with a spade or fork, fertilize with vegetable food and water thoroughly. Firm soil over seed.
Care
Keep soil moist and feed every 4-6 weeks As sprouts develop, remove lower leave–this encourages heavier production.
Harvesting
Harvest while buds are still tight and before there is any yellow color.
