Planting & Spacing Tips:

• Spacing: Plant each variety 12-18 inches apart in rows spaced 18-24 inches apart. This gives the plants room to grow and ensures proper air circulation.
• Depth: Plant at the same depth as the cell pot, ensuring the roots are well-covered with soil.
• Sunlight: Brassicas prefer full sun (6-8 hours of sunlight daily).
• Soil: Plant in well-draining, fertile soil rich in organic matter. A pH of 6.0-7.5 is ideal.

Growing Tips:

1. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water at the base of the plants to avoid wetting the leaves.
2. Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer at planting time and side-dress with compost halfway through the growing season.
3. Pests & Diseases: Watch for cabbage worms, aphids, and flea beetles. Use row covers or organic pest control methods to protect your plants.
4. Harvesting:
   • Broccoli: Harvest when the heads are tight and firm.
   • Cauliflower: Harvest when the heads are compact and white.
   • Kale: Begin harvesting outer leaves when they reach 6-8 inches in length.

Perfect For:

• Gardeners looking for a diverse, nutrient-packed harvest.
• Cool-season gardening projects.
• Small-space gardens, raised beds, or containers.
