Sowing & Growing

Start early by sowing indoors, planting seeds 5mm deep in a thinly spread manner over moist and compact seed compost. Maintain a propagation temperature of 15-20°C and keep the soil consistently moist. When transferring to the outdoors, plant in May-Jun with a spacing of 60cm between plants and rows 60cm apart. Alternatively, direct sowing can be done outdoors in Mar-Apr, placing seeds 10mm deep into a seed bed or well-watered compost. Ensure the soil stays moist and provide protection from frost.

This crop is easy to cultivate; maintain soil moisture throughout the growing period. If necessary, safeguard against the Cabbage White Butterfly using netting. Harvest the loose, button-type heads as needed.
