BRUSSEL SPROUTS, Long Island Improved – Brassica oleracea var. gemmifera FULL SUN First domesticated in the 1300s near Brussels, Belgium from a kale-like form of wild cabbage, the Brussels Sprout began to grow slowly in popularity in the US in the early 1800s. Long Island Improved was introduced in the 1890s. It is a semi-dwarf plant reaching a height of 24 in. and producing 1-2 in. very flavorful sprouts. Brussel Sprouts can be sown in the early spring as soon as the ground can be worked or started indoors. Mild frosts do not impact Brussel Sprouts. If direct seeding, soil should be deeply spaded before planting. Rows should be 30 in. apart. When seedlings are 2 in. high, thin, leaving 18 in. between plants. Adding lime to the soil before

SHALLOT SETS, French – Allium cepa FULL SUN Probably native to western or central Asia, onions have been cultivated throughout recorded history. They were brought to America with the earliest colonists. White onions are sweeter than yellow onions but not as sweet as red onions. White onions store well. Shallots may be planted in the fall or the spring similar to garlic. Fall plantings will mature earlier. Shallot plants are hardy and can withstand temperatures as low as 20 degrees fahrenheit so spring plantings may be made as soon as the soil can be worked. Turn the soil and add some lime before planting. Plant the sets, root end down, two inches deep, making certain that the growing point is exposed above the surface of the ground. Leave

HORSERADISH ROOTS, Maliner Kren – Armoracia lapathifolia FULL SUN Native to southeastern Europe, Horseradish has been cultivated for centuries. It was brought to America with the earliest colonists where it escaped from gardens and proliferated in the wild across the continent. Maliner Kren is a very old variety and considered the standard horseradish in the US today. To plant horseradish roots dig a hole 1 foot in diameter and 8 inches deep. Loosen the soil at the bottom of the hole. Place the root in the hole with the small end at the bottom of the hole and allowing the root to rest along the side of the hole so that the top of the root just breaks the surface of the soil. Refill the hole with a
