Alternatively direct sow outdoors from late March into a well prepared seedbed. Sow at a depth of 13mm (½in) and distance of 23cm (9in) between rows.
- Growing Information: Once germinated, grow on in cooler conditions until all risk of frost has passed and plants have 2-3 true leaves. Plant at a distance of 50cm (20in) apart and cover with a protective netting or fleece to prevent attack from birds and insects. Place a collar around the stem of each plant to prevent cabbage root fly attacks.
