TIP OF THE DAY

Are Your Brussels Sprouts Feeling a Little Cramped?

Ensure your Brussels sprouts thrive by giving them plenty of room to grow. Plant each sprout at least 18 inches apart to allow ample airflow and space for the roots to expand.

This spacing helps prevent disease and encourages stronger, healthier plants. By providing the right environment, your Brussels sprouts will stretch out and develop into robust, delicious veggies.
