Sow under glass in February-March 1.5mm (1/16in) deep in good seed compost, cover with vermiculite. Germination takes 5-10 days at 20-30C (65-70F).

Sowing can also be made outdoors in a well-raked seed bed in March-April. Sow thinly 12mm (½in) deep in rows 23cm (9in) apart. Keep the soil moist until germination. Transplant 60cm (24in) apart at the 5-6 leaf stage in good, firm, soil. Before planting, rake in 3oz sq. yd of a balanced fertilizer.

Transplant when large enough to handle into boxes 5cm (2in) apart. Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting out in April-May 60x60cm (24x24in) apart.

Water in dry weather and give liquid feed as the heads start to develop. Harvest from July-October, dependent on sowing date. To avoid the danger of Clubroot grow your Brassicas in a different site each year so that they only occupy the same spot once in four years. Days to maturity: 110
