Growing Guide
Season: Cool to mild growing weather.
Sowing: Direct-sow in fine, loose, draining soil and thin seedlings to prevent overcrowded roots.
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
Water consistently and manage weeds gently; inspect brassica foliage for caterpillars and flea beetles.
Lift tender roots before they become large and woody; leaves can be harvested conservatively without stripping growing plants.
Follow packet depth and spacing for the actual seed line. Keep the seedbed moist, not saturated, and protect young seedlings from heavy rain.
