Growing Info
Harvesting: Cut the budding shoots about 5" down when florets are 1"-2" across, just before the flowers open. Harvesting the first central shoot as soon as it matures, will encourage better side shoot production. Plants will set 3-5 side shoots shortly thereafter and continue for about four weeks in mild weather.
Special Care: Mulch to retain more even moisture. Use floating row covers at sowing time to reduce pest damage. Remove any infected plants from your garden. To prevent the spread of disease, do not compost crops you suspect are infected. It is also a good idea to rotate brassica crops annually so they are not grown in the same area for 3 years to prevent the buildup of diseases in the soil.
