March to April or June

WHERE TO SOW

Sowings can be made in trays or modules under glass at 13°C. Later sowings can be made into a seed bed in shallow drills 2cm (3/4″) deep in short rows.

WHAT TO DO NEXT

As soon as glasshouse seedlings show their first pair of leaves, prick off into trays 5cm (2″) apart or thin modules to one seedling per cell. Gradually harden off before planting out, spacing plants 45cm (18in) apart between plants and 45cm (18in) between the rows. Outdoor sowings should be thinned to 7-10cm (3-4in) apart , then once plants are 15cm (6in) tall , they can be lifted and transplanted to their final planting positions, spaced the same as detailed above.

HARVEST

July to August from early sowings or October from summer sowings

HANDY TIP

Can also be planted ona closer spacing of 30cm (12″) between the plants and the rows if only small heads are required.
