Planting Tips for Success

• Sunlight: Grow in full sun during cool weather. Provide afternoon shade in hotter climates to help keep leaves crisp.
• Soil: Use fertile, well-drained soil enriched with compost and organic matter.
• Starting Seeds: Sow pelleted seeds about 1/4 inch deep, or start indoors and transplant carefully when seedlings are established.
• Spacing: Space plants about 8–12 inches apart, with rows 12–18 inches apart, to support heavy heads and good airflow.
• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Uneven moisture can contribute to stress and bitter leaves.
• Fertilizing: Feed with compost or a balanced fertilizer at planting, then fertilize moderately as plants develop. Avoid excessive nitrogen.
• Harvest: Begin harvesting around 60 days from transplant. Pick outer leaves for a longer harvest or cut the open head when it reaches the size and texture you prefer.
