| Growing & Harvesting | Harvest heads in the morning, if possible, and when buds are tight. Cut stalk below the head. Dunk heads in ice water to reduce any "field heat" and increase storage time. Allow to drain before storing. |

Love this variety

Sadly the germination rate on your seeds if often very poor. I shop from time to time, hoping a can continue to support your company, but over the years, the quality of the seed has fallen.
Good Luck,
Ann Shaffer
