Hi all

first year for PSB and brussels, I want to order up netting and dig beds now so am wondering how much space each plant will need- height and spacing

any advice much appreciated :)

we've given our sprouts 18" each way..they're in raised beds so can go a bit closer :)

I agree with manic mines are 15" apart each way.

I would give PSB at least 24".

I always plant too close - they look so little when they go in but they do quickly turn into monsters.

Remember that you have to walk between them to pick? Hip high & snow covered!!

Are 4 foot canes long/strong enough for staking sprouts and PSB?
