When to sow outside: 4 to 6 weeks before average last frost or as soon as soil can be worked, or 8 to 10 weeks before average first frost. In mild climates (USDA zones 8 or warmer), sow in fall for winter harvest.
When to start inside: 8 to 10 weeks before average last frost; transplant outside when plants have grown for 4 to 6 weeks.
Harvesting: In fall, harvest after first couple of light frosts which improve flavor. When plants are 12"-16" across, entire head can be cut off at base. In spring, harvest before temperatures get above 90°F. Some people peel away the outer leaves, as they tend to be tougher and more bitter than inner leaves. The leaves can actually be harvested anytime in a “cut and- come-again” fashion; this is particularly good when seeds are sown too late in spring, and warm weather is approaching quickly.
