I am attempting to grow Brussell Sprouts from seed for the first time. They are sprouting rather vigorously, but according to the seed package harvest is in 90 to 200 days and I have no idea when it is appropriate to harvest.

I assume the longer I wait the larger the individual sprouts will be, don’t I honestly don’t know.

Any and all advice would be welcome, thank you in advance.

Are you in Texas? If so, you may need to plant those in the ‘winter’ versus now. They like to get started when the weather is cool.

I’ve actually harvested them in March in Wisconsin - after they spent the winter under a thick cover of snow. What a treat!

Pick when they are the size of the ones you see frozen or fresh in the grocery - about a quarter-coin size across.
