Brassica oleracea Cultivation Grow among other plants. It can be sown directly in the garden, but usually it is cultivated from seedlings. Sow a few plants several times. It can grow successfully when temperatures reach 10 °C (50 °F) during the day and 5 °C (41 °F) during the night. Distance between plants 30 cm […]
Brassica napus Cultivation It is easy to grow. Usually it is sown directly to the regular spot or planted as seedlings. Grow it as the subsequent crop or a very early vegetable. It germinates successfully at 5 °C (41 °F). In summer, set shades for seedlings and water them. Distance between plants At least 40 […]
Brassica rapa Cultivation Sow 2-3 seeds directly to heaps in the regular spot or prepare seedlings with root clods. Seedlings don’t take transplanting without the clod. If all three seeds germinate, cut off the two weaker ones. Distance between plants At least 30 cm (12 in) between the rows and at least 30 cm (12 […]
Cynara cardunculus Cultivation Cultivate seedlings from seeds. Cardoon needs deep, humus soil, enriched with mature barn manure.

Pisum sativum Cultivation Sow directly to its regular spot. Climbing peas need trellises to grow, and bush varieties will benefit from them as well. Distance between plants Bush peas: at least 30 cm (12 in) between rows, at least 5 cm (2 in) between plants in a row. Climbing peas: at least 1 m (3 […]
Brassica oleracea Cultivation Grow from seedlings, similar like cabbage.

Amount Approx. five plants per person. Time of planting From March […]
Phaseolus vulgaris Cultivation Sow directly to the regular spot or cultivate seedlings. Beans need warmer soil for successful germination (at least 8 °C (46 °F) for bush beans and more for pole beans). Pole beans should be sown in heaps, while this is not needed with bush beans. Put 6 to 10 grains of pole […]
Capsicum annuum Cultivation The same as other peppers. Cultivate from seedlings. Before transplanting outside, strengthen the seedlings well with gradually exposing them to lower temperatures.
