CULTURE: SPRING PLANTED CROPS: Use our bolt-resistant varieties. Greenhouse sow in 1-1 1/2" plug trays and transplant out in 1 month when the plants have about 10 leaves. Do not disturb roots, and water-in plants. SUMMER-FALL PLANTED CROPS: Sow 3 seeds every 12-18" (thin to 1 plant) in rows 18-30" apart, late May to late July, or grow from transplants as above. Observe sowing dates in variety descriptions. BOLTING: The crop is most at home in the gradually decreasing day length and temperatures of late summer. For spring and early summer planted crops, bolt-resistant variety selection is critical! Even the most bolt-resistant varieties may prematurely bolt to seed if young plants are exposed to frost or over a week of sub 50°F (10°C) nights. Wait until about the last frost date or after to direct seed or transplant out, or protect the plants with fabric row cover (see Index). DISEASE: Practice preventive crop rotation and sanitation. INSECT PESTS: Control flea beetles on the seedlings with rotenone or pyrethrin, or cover with floating row cover from day of planting. (Refer to Index for row covers and insecticides.) Cabbage root maggot: exclude flies with row cover. STORAGE: Heads will store 1-2 months in a near-freezing, humid cooler, or in a root cellar if trimmed and wrapped in newspaper. DAYS TO MATURITY: From transplanting; add 14-21 days for direct seeding. AVG. PRECISION SEEDING RATE: 3,125'/oz., 7 oz./acre at 3 seeds/ft. in rows 2' apart. TRANSPLANTS: Avg. 6,500 plants/oz.
