Finally, a club-root resistant sprout you can harvest for Christmas day!Sow thinly direct into a finely raked, weed-free seedbed at a depth of 13mm (½in). Alternatively, seeds can be started off in small pots or modules in a cold frame or cold greenhouse.Transplant when large enough to handle allowing 60cm (24in) between plants each way.
