After the main head is harvested, many longstemmed side shoots can be picked over a long period. The side shoots, stems and all, are deliciously tender and tasty. For prolific side-shoots, plant with extra space between plants and encourage branching by cutting the main head when it's small. Encourage side shoots by cutting regularly. Light: Full Sun. Plant: inches apart. Plant Height: 24 tall. Harvest Tips: Before flower buds open, cut the central head at a 45 angle. Broccoli - Packman Plant produces good yields of very flavorful broccoli.

To harvest all the sprouts at once cut off the top of the stalk 4-8 weeks before you want to harvest or when lower sprouts reach 1/2 in size. A heavy feeder- transplant into well composted soil. Cabbage - Early Jersey --- Heirloom 1840 After nearly 170 years, still one of the best picks for a small, early cabbage. The 2-4 lb, pale green, pointed heads have a delicious flavor, few outer leaves and can be planted close together. Resists yellows and splitting. Light: Partial Shade /Full Sun. Plant: apart for small headed varieties. Water: Maintain consistent moisture to prevent heads from cracking. Water on the sides of the plant and avoid wetting any part of the plant. Harvest: If the heads feel solid by pushing on them lightly they are ready to harvest. Harvest as soon as possible for early varieties to prevent splitting. Later maturing varieties will hold longer. Tips: Mulch, provide fertilizer, and adequate moisture for optimum growth. Cabbage Michihli Chinese Napa Sweeter, milder flavor than regular cabbage and easier to grow. Serve it like lettuce in salads, simmered in butter-sauce or added to stir-fries. Tall cylindrical heads average about 12 in. high by 4 in. wide. Outer leaves are medium-green blanched to creamy white on the interior. Has delightful crispy texture like celery, but more tender. Flavor is sweet, pleasant, and slightly spicy. Not for long-term storage. Plant: apart. Light: Full Sun. Cabbage - Ruby Ball: Firm, red, 6-8 inch round heads have a mild, sweet flavor and weigh a manageable 3-4 pounds.

Cabbage is a hardy cool-season crop that does best under cool, moist conditions. Light: Full Sun. Water: Normal. Plant Height: Plant: apart. Cauliflower Early Snowball Heirloom variety was introduced in the mid-1800s. Heads are about 5-6 across and quite erect, top is smooth and an attractive creamy shade.

Light: Sun Part Sun. Plant: 18 apart. Harvest: Tie up leaves around heads to blanch (keep white). Watch closely and pick before the curds begin to loosen. Tips: A heavy feeder transplant/direct seed into rich, well composted soil and side dress when buds begin to form 1
2 Collards - Vates This is a large plant in the brassica family, popular in the South although easily grown anywhere. It is slow to bolt, and tolerates cold and frost. Usually eaten cooked instead of raw, the flavor seems to improve after a frost. Collards can also be added to baked dishes and quickly braised. Consider cooking with a cider vinegar or soy sauce and sesame oil. Vitamin content is excellent. Leaves are an attractive blue-green. Requires several square feet of space when fully mature. Light: sun. Plant apart. Plant Height: 24. Mustard Cut & Come Again Quick- growing smooth and frilled leafy mustards. A perfect quick crop for continuous cool season zesty salads or nutritious and flavorful stir-fries. Tips: This mix will thrive in mild weather with consistent moisture. To extend the sowing season into hot weather, sow in light shade or erect a canopy of loosely woven shade cloth over the bed. Birds are often attracted to tender young seedlings, so protect them if necessary. Harvest & Use: To harvest by the cut and come again method, wait until plants are 4 to 6 inches tall. Cut as much as you need, using scissors to shear off a patch of leaves about 1 to 2 inches above the soil level. Water well and fertilize lightly and plants will regrow for several more cuttings. Sauté leaves quickly in olive oil with a little chopped garlic or steam and finish with a splash of hot sauce or rice vinegar. Pac Choi Green Fortune Heat-resistant baby variety rapidly produces mini heads of pack choi whose crispy pastel stalks and deep green leaves are ready to eat in record time. The compact, vase-shaped heads are mild, sweet and crunchy. Plant: 5-6 apart. Light: Full Sun. Plant Height: 6 to 8. Tips: Feed 2 or 3 times during the growing season with fish emulsion or another high nitrogen fertilizer. Harvest: Cut whole vase-shaped little heads when they are plump and well filled out. Chop coarsely for delicious quick stir fries, or braise in a little butter and broth just until tender-crisp. Green Fortune is mild and sweet tasting and chock full of vitamins and anti-oxidants. Kale - Dwarf Blue Curled --- Heirloom 1863 Kale is attractive. It can be grown for its appearance with finely curled blue-green leaves. Great fresh or cooked, either before or after a frost.

Summer heat makes the bulbs woody and dry. Provide fertilizer and adequate moisture for optimum growth. Kohlrabe - Grand Duke A 1979 All American selection and a favorite for earliness and flavor. Kohlrabi is also called cabbage-turnip and appropriately so, the turnip-like balls are held cleanly above the ground with a cruciferous, cabbage-like flavor. 4 globes are crisp and tender and Grand Duke holds well, meaning that you can leave it in the garden for a while without it becoming woody. Light: Sun. Harvest: The plantings under 2 for the most tender and sweet bulbs. Fall plantings can survive frosts and can be harvested when they are larger. Lettuce - Arugula A somewhat pungent salad green. Young leaves are sort of nutty and mustardy. Older leaves can become unpleasantly bitter. The leaves of arugula provide a spicy zap when added to a salad. (Young leaves taste best.) You can also sauté or steam them like spinach or other leafy greens. Plants look a little like dandelion, but more open. Leaves grow best in cool weather. Light: Full sun, will tolerate partial shade. Plant apart. Plant Height: Water: Moist but well drained soil. 2

Tips: Plant into fertile soil with lots of organic matter and adequate water for optimum growth.
