Rather than sowing everything at once and harvesting it all together, you can stagger your sowings across this window to spread your brassica harvest out over many weeks, or even months, avoiding the classic problem of ending up with five cabbages ready on the same day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBrassicas as a family are generally forgiving and productive, which makes this a good collection for building confidence in the vegetable garden. They also tend to be hungry feeders, so preparing the soil well with compost or aged manure before sowing will help each variety perform at its best. Because pak choi, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower and kale all have their own specific timing and spacing needs, check the individual seed packet for each variety for the details.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThese are genuinely the varieties that New Zealand home gardeners come back to season after season, valued for their reliability as much as their flavour.
