How to Save Seeds
Brussel Sprouts will cross pollinate with any member of the Brassica oleraceawhichincludes cauliflower, cabbage, kale, and broccoli so separate by 1 mile . It's best to leave these guys in the garden over winter since they are biennial. Simply let some of the heads remain on the stalk. Once spring arrives the heads left should go to seed. Once pods appear and are pick them for seed harvest but make sure not to wait.

Brussels sprouts
The seeds I just bought and received have already done amazing. I just planted them in small pots to start indoors and I want to say probably 95% of the seeds planted have already came up! This is my first time growing, so hopefully I will be able to continue this great growth, but as for the seeds being viable, they have done great!
