                                                                                                                                                                               WHERE TO SOW:

Early sowing under glass in trays or modules at 16 °C. Later sowings in a seed bed in shallow drill 1.5cm deep 20cm between rows.

WHAT TO DO NEXT:

Glasshouse sowings should be pricked off into trays 5cm apart as soon as large enough to handle. Thin modules to one seedling per pot/module. Thin outdoor sowings to 10cm apart. Harden off before planting out from mid-May onwards spaced at 45cm apart when the plants are about 15cm tall.

HANDY TIP:  If subject to long spells of hot sun, bend a few leaves to protect the growing head from the excess heat as this can cause premature formation of poor curds.

NUTRITIONAL VALUES:  A good source of iron and manganese. Contains many healthy antioxidants.
