Growing Guide
Season: Temperature and sowing time must match the seed line; early and winter types are not interchangeable.
Sowing: Raise healthy nursery seedlings and transplant into fertile, draining soil at the locally recommended season.
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 watering and nutrition steady to avoid buttoning; protect curds from strong sun if the seed line needs blanching.
Cut compact, firm curds before they loosen or flower. Do not promise repeated main-curd harvests.
Follow packet depth and spacing for the actual seed line. Keep the seedbed moist, not saturated, and protect young seedlings from heavy rain.
