Planting Instructions 

Cool season brassicas love the cooler weather. Timing harvest for the fall season to winter season for mild climates is important. We prefer to raise them as starts but they can be direct sown as well. 

• Sow indoors 4 weeks before last frost or direct sow when the ground can be worked 
• Sow 1/4” deep, Germination 5-10 days
• Plant apart 24" 
• Continue to dress with compost nor other choice fertilizers every 30-45 days or so as they are heavy feeders 
• Use row covers to protect from flea beetles, moths and other pests.
• Harvesting after a frost will yield very sweet Brussels.
