Brussel Sprouts: How to Grow and When to Plant in Your Backyard or Patio Garden!
Brussel sprouts are a cool season, slow-growing crop. In warmer areas it is important to start these indoors so that they get a head start before it gets too warm.

Our cool season crops (broccoli, cauliflower, & Brussels sprouts) that we planted in our Bio Dome last week are doing really well and are ready to be up-potted into larger containers before they go outside!
We’re trying out a 60 cell Bio Dome from Park Seed for some of our seed starts this spring! In this video, Carrie thins down her seedlings and discusses our thoughts on the Bio Dome so far.
Although February can usher in some of our coldest temperatures of the year, it’s also the beginning of the planting season for many different foods! It’s also a great time to start planning your garden for the year and ordering seeds. Our free iOS, Android, & Web app makes growing food simple and I’m going to talk about some of the things you can start planting in February in Oklahoma.
We got the chance to sit down and plant some of our cool season seeds today in our Park Seed 60 cell Bio Dome!
A healthy diet is extremely important especially when you are expecting! A diet with Vitamin B12, Vitamin D, Iron, Folate/Folic Acid, and Calcium is especially important during this time.
We’ve been having quite extreme ups and downs in our temperatures here in Oklahoma (zone 7). We had a sudden freeze last week and covered some of our plants and left some other plants exposed to the 20’s weather that we had. I show how all our plants (including broccoli, kale, lettuce, spinach, mesclun mix, microgreens, swiss chard, cabbage, rosemary, thyme, parsley, sage, thyme) handled the weather.
It’s been awhile since we did a walk through of our garden and showing everything that we are growing in our cool season garden this season! We thought that now would be a good time since we just had our first freeze. See how everything held up in the cold weather!
Whether you are feeling under the weather or you are just trying to stay healthy, eating a diet with fruits and vegetables is essential! Maintaining a healthy diet is essential to boost your immune system and fight off sickness. You can even grow most of these plants right in your own backyard!
Not all of us are fortunate enough to have space to grow in full sun. Many people live in apartments with a balcony and limited sunshine. However, there is lots of food you can still grow in limited sun!
