Growing tips
<p>Sow seeds 0.5-1 cm deep in seed trays. Germination takes <strong>5-10 days</strong>. Transplant seedlings at 4-5 true leaves (about 4 weeks old), spacing plants 45 cm apart. Cool weather is key to good head formation, so time it for winter. Keep watering steady to prevent heads from splitting. Harvest when heads feel firm and solid, usually <strong>70-100 days</strong> after transplanting, cutting at the base.</p>
