Culinary & Growing Tips
Early Jersey Wakefield excels in fresh salads and slaws where its sweet flavor shines, but also performs beautifully when cooked or pickled. The dense heads hold up well in all applications. Plant in full sun with well-drained, fertile soil. Space plants 12-18 inches apart in rows 24-36 inches apart. Water consistently and mulch to retain moisture. Harvest when heads are firm and dense, typically when they reach 7 inches and weigh 2-3 lbs.
Mature Size: 7" head | Days to Maturity: 60-70 days | Light: Full sun | Water: Consistent moisture
