Planting Instructions

Planting Season

• Cool-Season Crop: Best planted in early spring or late summer for fall harvest.
• Timing: Start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last expected frost or sow directly outdoors after the last frost.

Planting Details

• Depth: Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in well-drained, fertile soil.
• Spacing: Space plants 18-24 inches apart to allow for proper growth and head formation.
• Light: Prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade. Ensure the plants receive at least 6 hours of sunlight per day for optimal growth.
• Soil: Thrives in slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.0-7.0).

Watering and Care

• Water Needs: Keep the soil evenly moist throughout the growing season, particularly during dry spells. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely.
• Fertilizer: Use a balanced fertilizer or compost before planting. Side-dress with additional fertilizer during the growing season to promote healthy growth and a strong head.
• Weeding: Mulch around the base of the plants to suppress weeds and maintain moisture levels.
