Johnny's BRUSSELS SPROUTS Planting/Harvesting Program

Plant several varieties of Brussels sprouts that have different maturity dates at the same time, and harvest in succession.

The less cold-hardy Brussels sprouts varieties are faster-growing, and the more cold-hardy Brussels sprouts varieties are slower-growing.

Each variety will mature in its appropriate seasonal slot from a spring planting. Growers in regions with a long growing season can typically make more plantings of the variety/ies with the longest days to maturity, e.g., 'Divino' and 'Diablo.'

Varieties are selected for quick growth so they develop full heads.
