Description

T&M have been assessing extensive trials of early maturing varieties and believe that Nelson is the best 'Peer Gynt' replacement. Nelson produces smaller, more even sized buttons of a darker green colour and a sweeter taste.

Plants have good vigour, and a strong root system so they remain upright for easy picking.

Sowing Instructions

Sow mid February for August picking or March to April for picking September onwards.

Sow seeds into individual pots or a seed tray of a proprietary compost and cover with 6mm (¼in) of compost or vermiculite, at a minimum of 15C (60F), until germination which takes around 7 days. Alternatively, can be sown thinly in a prepared seedbed 13mm (½in) deep, allowing 30cm (12in) between rows.
