How to Use / How to Grow:
Start seeds indoors 4–6 weeks before the last frost or direct sow outdoors when soil temperatures are cool and workable. Transplant seedlings into fertile, well-drained soil in full sun. Provide consistent moisture and adequate spacing to support strong stalk development. Plants tolerate light frosts and continue to produce high-quality sprouts late into the season.
Harvest & Use:
Harvest sprouts from the lower portion of the stalk upward as they firm up. For the best flavor, allow plants to experience a light frost before harvest. Enjoy fresh, or blanch and freeze for long-term storage.
