Sprouts need firm, non-manured ground. Dress the
plot with one and a half ounce of super
phosphate and one ounce of potash 2 weeks before
planting. Sow seeds in beds in March to April
and transplant to the prepared plot in late May
to June, spacing them 24" apart and 24" between
rows. They can be intercropped with rows of
lettuce. Water well after transplanting and in
dry weather. Take dead leaves off and leave on
ground for mulch. When the sprouts have finished
growing pinch out the top of the plant (don't
waste it, can be cooked like cabbage).
