How to fertilize Brussel Sprout
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Brussel Sprout after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

For #FreshLeafFriday I want to show off my little kitchen replant who could! I saved this little slice of salad turnip from my first CSA box of the year, and they’ve turned out to be the MOST enthusiastic grower in the house! 🤣 Go, Tunip!

~1mth update #farmerfam Hey gang, about a third of the seeds I planted early February have outgrown the seed tray and have been moved to nursey pots! 🌿🌿 The open spots in the seed tray have been replaced with chives and coriander. 🌿🌿 Eggplants are moving a lil slow this year and brussel sprouts are a lil weak, but the squash never let me down. PIC 1: All seedlings. PIC 2: Eggplant seeds opening (finally 😬) PIC 3: Brussel Sprouts, repotted for support PIC 4: Last year's 🏵Squash Mountain🏵 #seedstarting #gardening #farmerfam #gardeningisfun #sproutouts #squashmountain #eggplant #brusselsprout #herbsandspices #herbgarden #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #dapperpineapple

🌿🌿 #FarmerFam Update 🌿🌿 We've got some new editions and some breakout stars! Newbies (Courtesy of Country Nursery, Spencerville, MD): #dmvgreggang 🏵 #strawberry (a little dry) #hungarianwaxpepper (coworker request) 🏵 #srirachapepper 😋 #ichibaneggplant (insurance since my #blackbeauty is looking a little weak) 🤩 Breakout Star 🤩 This year's star is definitely going to be the grape vine. Only 2 yrs old so I don't think it will flower until at least next yr but after getting bodied by aphids last year, she's stunning! I normally don't include outdoor plants in my Oasis but she deserves all the shine.

WE OUT HERE Hey #farmerfam, all my seedlings have officially been transferred outside! Archie was surprisingly chill (he normally needs to inspect every plant as it goes in #naturespestcontrol). Another nice surprise was that my #overwintered #grapevine survived. It's sitting pretty in the middle. We've got squash, eggplant, and brussel sprouts on the left. Tomato, peppers, and decorative pumpkin on the right. A few marigolds in both to help keep deer and squirrels away. #gardeningisfun #outdoorgrowing #veggiegardens #pupsnplants #dapperpineapple #dogsofgreg #eggplant #squashmountain #peppers #tomatoplant #brusselsprout #marigold
