Calabrese Sakura is a sprouting variety which produces domed, green heads with tight beads on dark green stems in summer. Mature in 6-12 weeks. Pick while still small, when they are at their sweetest.
Approximately 20 Seeds
February through April is a good time to start calabrese seeds indoors or in a greenhouse. Sow two seeds per module in a modular tray filled with seed compost. Thin the seedlings to one per module as soon after they are large enough to be handled as feasible. Every week, give them a general-purpose liquid fertilizer.
Outdoors – From April, sow in the ground where the crop is to grow. Choose a sunny or very lightly shaded spot, with fertile, well-drained soil. Every 30cm (1ft) along the row, sow three seeds, 2cm (¾in) deep. Thin young calabrese plants to leave just one healthy seedling every 30cm (1ft) when the seedlings are big enough to handle. Cover the plants with fleece to protect them from cabbage root fly; remove it in May when the likelihood of damage lowers.
