Brussel Sprouts

Hi, I'm growing my own brussel sprouts from seeds and just wondered how do I know when to transplant them into a bigger pot and also how deep do i put them in the soil i transplant to?

I'm new to all this. The ones I sowed last week have grown quite tall (couple of inches) but only have two iccle curled leaves on?

Please help

I transplant mine when the have a couple of true leaves and I bury them up to the seed leaves.

The two leaves at the bottom are the seed leaves.

Is it just me that thinks little sprout plants look cute

Just transplanted mine into 3" pots yesterday at about that size and couldn't bear to throw any away so now have 18 plants.

i have grown these and moved them into 3" pots. the stem will get tall so need to put compost in up to the seed leaves and let it grow for a while. i have used this time to grow them outside in the air and wait once they grow their 3rd set of true leaves then i will plant them outside and just cover them from birds. might be a while before they can be moved outside though

Onion sets or seed?

If sets id just plant where they will grow

Same with carrots - just sow them where you want them to grow

no, they are both from seed. The carrots have two leaves at mo and the onions/leeks have a green shoot about an inch tall with a bend in it?
