- Growing Information: Transplant when large enough to handle into well prepared, firm soil allowing 75cm (30in) between plants each way. Plant firmly to reduce risk of poor quality buttons and plants leaning over. Water until established. Earth up the soil around plants as necessary to increase stability. Remove yellowing leaves to improve air circulation and reduce disease risks. Pick lowest sprouts first and work up the stem.
