A crisp, sweet petite variety. Quick to grow, and great for containers or shallow topsoil. Mouth-wateringly good roasted, glazed with honey or balsamic vinegar, or caramelised with a little brown sugar. Try some Asian-inspired flavours with ginger, soy or sesame seed glazes.
Sow direct in a Sunny, well drained position. Cover with Yates Black Magic Seed Raising Mix, firm down and moisten. Thin after 4 weeks. Sow successive crops at 3-4 weekly intervals.
Choose good quality potting mix if growing in containers. Add Yates Thrive Natural Blood & Bone before sowing to help ensure a good crop. Protect from snails and slugs.
