Cultivation Advice for Brussels Sprouts De Rosny

Sowing and Growing Conditions

Sow Brussels sprouts in March or April in a nursery bed. Transplant the seedlings about six weeks after sowing, when they are fifteen centimeters tall, spacing them 75 cm apart in all directions.

Brussels sprouts require a rich soil and a cool, sunny location for optimal growth.

Maintenance and Disease Management

Brussels sprouts need regular watering to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Make sure the soil does not dry out completely between waterings. Mulching helps to retain soil moisture. Avoid wetting the leaves.

They are susceptible to caterpillars, slugs, and aphids. Using insect netting is an effective way to protect your plants from pests.

Harvesting

The ideal harvest begins after the first frost and can continue from November to February, depending on your needs.
