Gardening is about finding the right balance! Try growing Companion Plants close by to help deter pests.

  • Amaranth is great for attracting the ground beetle. This predatory beetle eats slugs, snails, slug and snail eggs, caterpillars and weed seed.
  • Cabbage white butterflies are drawn to nasturtiums. Try growing these flowers close by as a sacrificial plant. They will help to draw the pest away from the brassica crop.
  • Calendula (Pot marigold) attracts predatory insects such as lacewings, ladybirds and hoverflies who love to feast on aphids.
  • White mustard can help to draw the flea beetle away from the crop as the pest normally favours this leaf. Mint can also help to deter the flea beetle.
  • Low growing Limnanthes helps to keep the surrounding soil moist, supresses weed growth, attracts bees and hoverflies who's larvae feed on aphids. The plant can be dug in as green manure at the end of the season.

Soil Preperation

Add well rotted manure of compost a few months before sowing or planting (ideally the previous autumn). Lime if necessary as brassica's prefer alkaline soils. Remove weeds from the area. Add general purpose organic fertilizer 2 - 3 weeks before sowing or planting.

Sowing Guide

Early Sowing/Module Sowing

Sow 2 - 3 seeds per 4 cm module. As soon as the seedlings emerge reduce the heat and move to an area with good daylight exposure, a windowsill or greenhouse is ideal. Protect early sowings from frost. When the seedlings are large enough to handle thin to one strong seedling per module. Plants may need potting on. Plant out when all risk of frost has passed. Harden off over 7 - 10 days before planting out. Plant at the distance suggested above.
Set the plants about 3 cm deeper into the ground to what they were growing in the modules. Firm the soil well around each newly planted calabrese, as brassicas dislike loose soil. Water well and cover with fine insect mesh.

Direct Sowing

When direct sowing it is best to start brokali in a well prepared seed bed, then in a few weeks the young plants can be transplanted into their final growing position. In April - May sow 1 seed every 3 cm at the depth and row distance suggested above. Cover the seeds with soil and water well. To avoid problems from brassica pests the crop can be covered with fine insect mesh at this stage. When the seedlings are big enough to handle thin to 9 cm between each plant, keeping the stronger plants, discarding the weak.
The young plants will be ready to transplant to their final growing position when they are about 8 - 10 cm tall. Water the plants well the day before transplanting to help reduce stress. Transplant at the distance suggested above.
Set the plants about 3 cm deeper into the ground to what they were growing in the seed bed. Firm the soil well around each newly planted calabrese, brassicas dislike loose soil. Water well and cover with fine insect mesh.


Growing On

Hoe regularly to keep weeds under control. Water well especially in dry weather. The plants will benefit from a mulch of compost to help keep the soil moist. Keep an eye on pests, prevention is key. It is highly recommended to grow all brassicas under fine plastic insect mesh especially during the summer months as pests can spoil a healthy crop in no time.


Harvesting

From an early sowing the first heads may be ready to cut in early July. Best to harvest before the flower bud shows any signs of opening, flowered calabrese heads loose their flavour. Cut the head with a sharp knife, try to avoid damaging the leaves. The forming of secondary heads will depend on the weather and pest damage.
A wet summer and autumn will allow the plants to produce several smaller heads. However if the weather is dry the plant will need to be watered regularly to ensure more heads form. Harvesting can last for about 2 months depending on how much water the plants receive and temperature.

TIP

Once the main head has formed cut asap to increase production of side shoots.
