Description

Mild delicate flavour.

Sow May to June in rich, moist, well drained soil.

Sow thinly into well raked soil, 1cm (1/2”) deep in drills 23cm (9”) apart.

Thin seedlings when large enough to handle and transplant about 5 weeks from sowing 60cm (2ft) each way.

Plant thinly and water well until established.

The whole head does not need to be harvested in one go – individual heads can be taken as needed.

Harvest September to October

Extend the season by covering the heads with fleece to protect from frost.
