This delicious and attractive cool weather vegetable produces nicely rounded, firm, white heads for summer and fall harvest. Plants are hardy and vigorous. Enjoy raw with dips, pickled, cooked, or steamed.
When and Where to Plant: For earliest harvest start indoors 4-5 weeks before last frost or sow seeds outdoors in early spring. Set plants out at time of last frost. For a fall crop start seeds July to August. Select a sunny location with fertile soil, loosen soil with spade or fork, fertilize with vegetable food and smooth with rake. Firm soil over seed and keep moist.
Care: Keep soil moist, weed free and feed every 4-6 weeks. If you did not plant a self-blanching variety, protect developing heads from sun by tying leaves over them.
Harvesting: Cut just below head when buds are still white and firm.
