How to grow

Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in cells under lights about 4 weeks before transplanting. Move seedlings into full sun, spacing them 18 inches apart in a single row or wide-row block. Keep the bed weed-free with steady moisture. Remove the growing point once plants reach full height to even out the sprouts, and harvest in cool weather for the sweetest flavor.

Sweet and mild with a smooth, cabbage-like taste that deepens after cool weather and frost.
