Sprouts, what's the smallest spacing I can plant them, don't have much space but I looooooooove sprouts (fart) oooops

[Linzy]

Lol im planting mine with a foot between them and then staking them so they dont lean over, i reckon they should be fine .

[Martin H]

A foot apart seems about right, I wouldn't go much closer together than that.

Aren't you a bit late?
Thought that sprouts should start cooking for christmas no later then the summer solstice.

I'm sure they'll grow on OK though won't they? Even if they crop a bit later? I thought it was 2 feet between plants - bother! I've planted mine too far apart! Lol

[rustylady]

Depends on the variety. Directions on the Evesham Special packet says plant out at 2 feet apart.

Kirk was having a joke... My sprout seedlings are only at two true-leaf stage, so they'll have to be for Christmas 2014 in order to be cooked for the optimum length of time

A foot is a bit on the close side of things but give it a go and as said above it does depend on the variety. Do remember however that planting more plants, closer doesn't always give you more produce. I plant mine just over 2' in one direction and slightly less in the other as I find that works best for me.
