Agrotechnics.
Sowing seeds in the ground is carried out from April to July. To obtain seedlings, seeds are sown in February-March at a temperature no higher than +10°C to prevent early flowering. Seedlings are planted in pots, planted in the ground at the age of 30-35 days at a distance of 30 cm. To improve taste, the leaves are bleached by tying the upper part of the outer leaves together 2-3 weeks before harvesting, cover the beds with black agrotextile or ripen (harvested with roots ) plants without access to light for a week.
