Planting: Start in the greenhouse and transplant in early to mid summer, when one would start long season cabbage. Seeds should be planted 4 - 5 weeks before transplanting. Allow 90 - 100 days for plants to mature. For summer harvest, you must plant transplants of an early, heat-resistant variety in very early spring. Sprouts maturing in hot weather or under dry conditions are more likely to develop bitterness. Fall production is the most desirable in a large portion of the country. Plant 24" - 36" apart in the row and 30" - 36" apart in rows.
