Brussels Sprouts in a Zone 7 season

Zone 7 gives about 202 frost-free days. Brussels Sprouts needs roughly 100 days from transplant. That leaves about 102 days of slack, so there is room for a late start or a second planting.

How to grow Brussels sprouts

A long-season brassica for autumn and winter picking. Start seeds indoors about 6 weeks before planting out, and plant out about 4 months before the weather turns cool. A touch of cold sweetens the sprouts.
