When to Sow Ironman Calabrese Seeds
April to May.
Where to Sow
Sowings can be made in trays or modules under glass at 13°C. Later sowings can be made into a seed bed in shallow drills 2cm (3/4") deep in short rows.
What to do Next
As soon as glasshouse calabrese seedlings show their first pair of leaves, prick off into trays 5cm (2") apart or thin modules to one seedling per cell. Gradually harden off before planting out, spacing plants with 45cm (18in) apart between plants and 45cm (18in) between the rows. Outdoor sowings should be thinned to 7-10cm (3-4in) apart, then once plants are 15cm (6in) tall, they can be lifted and transplanted to their final planting positions, spaced the same as detailed above.
Harvest
July to September.
Handy Tip
All brassicas prefer to be planted into firm, fertile ground to produce the best crops. Keep plants well watered during very dry weather especially as heads start to form.
Nutritional Values
A good source of iron and vitamins A and C.
