In the proper season of the year, Brussels sprouts can be grown easily in most home gardens across the country. In mild areas, or where there is deep snow cover, the sprouts may overwinter. Brussels sprouts require a long growing period, though newer hybrids have greatly reduced this requirement. Plants set out in late spring to early summer grow satisfactorily and mature high-quality sprouts when the fall weather begins to cool.
