Planting Instructions
Planting Season
- Late Summer or Early Fall: Start planting Early Purple Sprouting seeds in late summer or early fall to ensure a winter harvest. For best results, sow seeds indoors and transplant outside when the weather cools.
- Timing: Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the first expected frost or direct sow in the garden 6-8 weeks before the first frost.
Planting Details
- Depth: Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in well-draining, fertile soil.
- Spacing: Space plants 18-24 inches apart in rows to ensure good air circulation and room for growth.
- Light: Early Purple Sprouting needs full sun to grow strong and produce high-quality florets.
Watering and Care
- Water Needs: Water consistently, especially during germination and early plant growth. Once established, water deeply once a week to keep the soil moist but not soggy.
- Fertilizer: Enrich the soil with compost or a balanced fertilizer before planting. Apply a side dressing of fertilizer in early spring as plants begin to grow.
- Weeding: Keep the planting area weed-free to reduce competition for nutrients and water. Mulching around the plants can help with weed control and moisture retention.
- Temperature: Early Purple Sprouting prefers cooler temperatures, thriving in 50-60°F (10-16°C). This variety does well in areas with mild winters.
Harvesting
- When to Harvest: Early Purple Sprouting is typically ready to harvest in 10-12 months after planting, depending on the climate and planting time. The florets will start to appear in late winter or early spring.
- How to Harvest: Cut the florets when they are tight and firm but not fully opened. Harvest the central head first, and then continue picking the side shoots as they develop.
- Secondary Harvest: Once the main head is harvested, side shoots will continue to grow and can be harvested over the course of several weeks, extending the harvest period.
Perfect For
- Cool-Season Gardens: Ideal for planting in late summer or early fall for a winter or spring harvest.
- Unique Culinary Dishes: The purple florets of Early Purple Sprouting make an eye-catching and flavorful addition to dishes like roasted vegetables, salads, and stir-fries.
