BUYERS NOTES
Good-sized, well-spaced, mid-green buttons boast a tasty flavour with a hint of sweetness with no bitterness or aftertaste. Sow in early March for harvest in October, or sow in late March/April for harvesting from October right through until Christmas - just in time for your festive dinner.
Sowing Information:
Sow in individual pots or a seed tray of good seed compost and cover with 6mm (¼in) of compost or vermiculite. Maintain at a temperature of 15C (60F) until germination which takes around 5-7 days. Alternatively, sow thinly in a prepared seedbed 13mm (½in) deep.
Growing Information:
Transplant when large enough to handle into well-prepared, firm soil, allowing 75cm (30in) between plants in each direction. Plant firmly to reduce risk of poor quality buttons and plants leaning over. Water until established. Earth up the soil around plants as necessary to increase stability. Remove yellowing leaves to improve air circulation and reduce the risk of disease. Pick lowest sprouts first and work up the stem.
