Overview

Bred for its excellent flavour, this sturdy and reliable calabrese is also high-yielding and disease-resistant, especially to white rust. It produces its big, generous heads early in the season, especially from sowings made under glass in spring. Once the main head is cut, it produces a second harvest of smaller, deliciously tender side-shoots from the stem. Store gluts of calabrese by trimming sprigs and blanching in boiling water for a couple of minutes before packing loosely into bags and freezing. Growing Instructions:Early sowings can be made into pots or seed trays under cover: pot on as the seedlings grow. Or sow later in spring into shallow drills in a well-prepared seedbed, thinning seedlings to 5cm apart. When plants reach 15cm tall transplant to where they are to grow, spacing about 30cm apart. Protect from slugs and net against pigeons. Sow: May-June Harvest: July-August
