Sowing
Sow in summer for autumn and winter harvest. Seed germinates quickly, in a few days in warmth, and can be started indoors and planted out into a raised bed or sown direct.
Tips
- Keep evenly watered; irregular watering splits roots.
- Thin to give each root room.
- Brassicas like firm soil and are targets for pigeons: net them.
Always check the packet for your variety, and see the step-by-step guide for the basics.
