Angelo’s Farm Market veggies are specifically selected for home growers to be productive, disease resistant, and flavorful. Look for ‘Grand Duke’, an All-America Selection for its early production, vigorous growth habit, and its superior quality. ‘Grand Duke’ produces the finest 4″ wide, light green, globe-like bulbs that possess a smooth, sweet, white flesh that can be consumed raw like carrot sticks or stir-fried. Immature leaves can be used like cabbage or kale. Prefers cool, mild weather. Harvest when bulbous stems reach 3-4″ in diameter for best flavor. Maturity: 48 days

Plant in sunny, well-drained, nutrient rich soil or containers amended with organic matter like Petitti Planting Mix. Water well after planting; maintain 1” of water once a week throughout the growing season. Feed with a slow release fertilizer, Osmocote® or Garden-tone®. Follow label instructions. Mulch 2″ to suppress weeds, retain moisture and protect against extremes of soil temperature.
