INSTRUCTIONS:


Sowing
Mid February in pots or trays under glass, then transplant outdoors for earliest heads in June. Alternatively sow outdoors from mid March to end of May, thinly in a prepared seedbed, 13mm deep.

 

Growing Transplant when large enough to handle, about 5 weeks from sowing, in to well prepared soil in a sunny spot, allowing 38cm each way between plants. Plant firmly and water in. Compact plants allow closer spacings and less wasted outer leaves.

 

Harvesting About 60 days from transplanting. Later sowing from end of May will produce quality heads to October.


ORGANIC GARDENING:

In order to continue the organic life cycle of these seeds, gardeners should follow recognised organic growing methods, avoiding the use of artificial fertilisers and pesticides.
