One of my favourites and rapidly gaining in popularity, this delightful vegetable bridges the gap between Summer and Winter vegetables. Ideal for the small garden, it will flourish in any well cultivated soil.
When to plant: Late Summer and Autumn How to grow: Drop seeds 6mm (quarter-inch) deep in seed tray or punnet. Keep moist. Transplant to final position when large enough to handle. Plant firmly 60cm (2ft) apart, each way, and water well. Seeds may also be sown direct in clumps, later thinning to one seedling. Harvest: Cut when centre heads are well formed
