I'd like to know this too because I have some seeds that I want to plant...I'll go see if I can hunt down some info for us

Sow as soon as you can get into the ground. I'll be putting mine out this weekend.

I have mine out already, the frost got a couple of them, but I have some left.

I don't even seed mine till late April or early May.

Looks like right now would be a fine time to put 'em in.

Thanks Carly,

It is to go to the 50ies this week and not belowe 32 all week,, so I am thinking of putting them out........It says frost makes them sweeter.

Thanks for L@@king..

thanks carly! I meant to go do some research but got sidetracked

I had a couple of BS plants make it all the way through winter, I was picking in February.

Amigatec,
That is good.......Your a milder climate, compared to Penna........Also there are different varietys of BS, which are more hardy than others.

That is nice to do that.

This was 2 winters ago, we did have a mild winter.

Well, Past tense doesnt help present time.

We had a mild winter this year as well, but I couldn't find any BS seeds to plant fall.

I have plenty of seeds this year.

ok..........
I took everyones advice.. Today I planted my Brussel Sprouts, and some Flowering Kale, and parsley......They were all acting like they wanted to go outside....
It is to drop next week .It is a beautiful sunny 65 here in penna today.
If we get frost , I will cover them.
I will tell you if they live or die. ;o)
