Started some Hestia Hybrid Brussels sprouts today in my Jiffy setup. Not sure if it too late, but with our current state of global warming, there may still be time to grow them.
Some facts about this brussels sprouts:
- Germination in 8-10 days
- 3-4 weeks before planting outdoors
- 100 days from setting out transplants until harvest
- up to 3 feet high and 2 feet wide
- can take some frost (which should sweeten flavor)
I've usually not had much success with the Jiffy peat pellet system, but since it is convenient, I'm giving it another try and will just take care to watch for new signs of growth before removing the cover to let the seedlings air out.
