Hi, Everybody,

This is only my second year, so I am still
experimenting.

On impulse, I bought some brussels sprouts seedlings,
but I don't much about planting them.

They are going in 10-litre (2.5 gal) buckets.

How many per bucket would be good?

And, for some reason, I suspect that these might become
some sort of vines(?) Should they be trained upward on
a vertical stake (like beans)? Any links are
appreciated.

Thanks...


From what I hear, they don't make proper little tight Brussels sprouts
unless the plants are treaded well into the ground, they like a heavy
soil. Otherwise, you get large, open, floppy, cabbage-like sprouts.
