Description
Brussels Sprouts, Long Island Catskill (100% Heirloom/Non-Hybrid/Non-GMO)
- Brussels sprouts have shallow roots, so as they become top heavy, you may need to stake them, particularly if exposed to strong winds. 🌿 As with other brassicas, Brussels Sprouts are susceptible to pests and diseases that must be kept under control early in the season. As with other brassicas, composting roots should be avoided. Brussels Sprouts should not be grown within a 10 foot radius of any brassica growing location within the last 3 years, preferably 7 years. 👍 Brussels Sprouts are high in calcium and iron, as well as a good source of vitamins A and C.
- This popular Brussels Sprout variety produces miniature cabbage-like heads which are extremely tasty and nutritious.
