  • Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed starting mix.
  • Alternatively, sow seeds directly into the garden after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed.

• Germination:
  Germination typically occurs within 7-14 days under optimal conditions of soil moisture and temperature (65-75°F).

• Transplanting:

  • When seedlings have 2-3 true leaves and the soil temperature is consistently above 60°F, transplant them into the garden.
  • Space plants 18-24 inches apart in rows 24-36 inches apart.
  • Ensure that transplants are hardened off before moving them outdoors.

Care and Maintenance:

• Watering:
  Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Regular watering is essential, especially during dry periods.

• Mulching:
  Apply mulch around plants to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.

• Harvesting:
  Harvest the Romanesco when the heads are fully formed but still tight, typically around 75-100 days after sowing. Use a sharp knife to cut the head from the stem, leaving some leaves attached to protect the head.

Happy Gardening!
