Start Indoors or Direct Sow: Sow indoors 4 weeks before the last frost, or direct sow once soil is workable.

Thin Seedlings to 10–12 inches apart for full head formation.

💧 Care Tips
-
Watering: Keep soil consistently moist — never let it dry out completely.
-
Feeding: Add compost or organic fertiliser before planting.
-
Mulching: Helps keep roots cool and reduces moisture loss.
-
Watch for Slugs: Especially when plants are young — use organic deterrents if needed.

✂️ Harvesting
-
Harvest when heads are firm and fully formed (about the size of a grapefruit).
-
Cut at the base with a sharp knife.
-
Pick early in the day for best crispness.
Tip: Don’t wait too long — overripe heads may split or bolt.
❄️ Overwintering
-
In mild areas, late crops may survive under fleece or in cold frames.
-
Otherwise, treat as a cool-season annual with spring and autumn sowings.
