A very tasty and much sought after vegetable. This variety produces a good crop of thick stems after a 3 years in the open ground. Steamed or grilled and then drizzled with butter and pepper these are one of lifes luxuries. An easy plant to grow and recommended to anyone.

Sowing & Growing
Sow seeds indoors in January or directly outside from Mid-April. Seeds sown indoors/outdoors should be soaked overnight in warm water to help with germination of the seeds.
After the seeds have germinated from indoor sowings they can be transplanted outside at appx 12 ” spacing. Seeds sown outdoors should be thinned to 8″ spacings and then again once the plants are more established to 12″ spacing. It is recommended not to harvest the stems for the first 3 years to allow the plants to become more established. Keep the are weed free and do not allow the soil to become dried out. Adding well rotted organic matter to the soil prior to planting/sowing will encourage vigorous growth and an annual mulch of the same will benefit these plants enormously.

I have just bought all my new seeds for next year’s vegetables after having such great results this year. Budget seeds are so helpful, I’m a newbie in the veg growing world and they have been helpful in choosing the best seeds to start with etc. also much cheaper than elsewhere so if I do mess up in the future it isn’t costing me so much. I thoroughly recommend Budget Seeds for all your veg and flower seeds.
