Growing Guide
Season: Cool to mild weather; use a seed line suited to the local season.
Sowing: Raise seedlings in a clean nursery and transplant sturdy plants into a sunny, fertile, well-drained bed.
Soil and feeding: Use a well-drained growing medium with mature compost. Feed according to crop needs, soil fertility and the fertiliser label, rather than a fixed schedule for every vegetable.
Care and Harvest Guide
Keep growth steady with moisture and appropriate feeding; monitor caterpillars and avoid sudden heavy watering near harvest.
Cut firm heads before they split; one main head is the normal harvest.
Follow packet depth and spacing for the actual seed line. Keep the seedbed moist, not saturated, and protect young seedlings from heavy rain.
