PLANTING & CARE

Grow during the cooler parts of spring or fall, adjusting planting dates to your local climate. Sow seeds shallowly and cover lightly with soil. Choose fertile, well-drained soil in sun to partial shade, and keep it evenly moist without waterlogging.

Thin seedlings to give each plant room to develop. For a staggered harvest, sow small batches at intervals during suitable growing weather. Harvest heads while tender, before plants begin to bolt.
