WHERE TO SOW:
Sow the seed thinly in a well prepared seed bed in shallow drills 1cm deep in rows 20cm apart. Keep well watered.
WHAT TO DO NEXT:
Thin the seedlings as they appear to 5cm apart. When the seedlings are about 10-15cm tall, transplant to the growing site 40-45cm apart. Set the young plants 2cm deeper than they were in the seed bed.
HANDY TIP: Brassica crops require deep and rich soil for the best results but even poorer soils will crop well, given a good organic feed after transplanting.
NUTRITIONAL VALUE: A good source of pro-vitamin A, vitamin C and B.
