Any hints on growing Brussels Sprouts

[Lucas]

Looking at sowing Brussels Sprouts seeds this weekend
The varieties are Red and Long Island
Going to plant in seedling trays and transplant when large enough in a couple of weeks
Haven't had a lot of luck with them before but think planted to late

Any advice to make this crop successful will be appreciated
Cheers Lucas

It's been awhile, thought I would check in and see how the Sprouts did? I once knew a man from England. Said the stalks of the Brussel Sprouts would become tall enough, they would use them as walking canes. I decided to grow some in Texas. The canes were tall enough for a new born - FAIL. I'm guessing the heat stunted their growth, is was a short Spring that year.
