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 at full height to even the sprouts, and harvest in cool weather for the sweetest flavor.

Flavor profile

Sweet and mild with a tender, cabbage-like taste that improves after frost.
