Planting Instructions:
Seed Preparation:
No special preparation is needed for sowing.
Sowing:
Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost. Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in seed-starting mix. Keep the soil moist and maintain a temperature of 65-75°F (18-24°C).
Germination:
Seeds should germinate in 5-10 days under optimal conditions. Ensure consistent moisture, but avoid waterlogging.
Transplanting:
Transplant seedlings outdoors when they have 2-3 true leaves and after the last frost. Space plants 18-24 inches apart in rows 24-36 inches apart. Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a week.
Care and Maintenance:
Water regularly, providing 1-1.5 inches of water per week. Mulch around the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Monitor for pests such as aphids, cabbage worms, and flea beetles.
Harvesting:
Harvest when the heads are firm and before the individual buds start to separate.
Happy Gardening!
