Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

No specific preparation required, but soaking seeds in water for 12-24 hours before planting can help speed up germination.

Sowing:

Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost. 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, spacing 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!
