- Planting: Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost or sow directly outdoors after the last frost when the soil temperature is around 50°F (10°C). Space seedlings 12–18 inches (30–45 cm) apart to allow for optimal growth.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods, to support healthy head development.
- Fertilization: Use organic fertilizers or compost to support plant growth. Fertilize early in the season and side-dress with additional compost as the heads begin to form.
- Thinning: Thin seedlings to ensure adequate space for each plant to develop fully, allowing for better air circulation and improved disease resistance.
- Harvesting: Harvest when heads are firm and fully developed, but before they begin to split. For best quality, avoid over-maturing.
