Product description

High Mowing Organic Seeds - An easy winner for appearance and flavor in our trials.

Broad white stems and midribs contrasting with deep green savoyed leaves make Fordhook a bestseller year after year. Large plants have very upright architecture with high yield potential, excellent for commercial growers.

Characteristics: 

  • Broad stems & High yielding
  • Heirloom
  • Organic & Open-Pollinated
  • 30 days baby, 60 days full size 
  • 1/16 oz approx. 90 seeds per packet 

Instructions - Sow seeds outdoors in mid-spring through mid-summer and into fall in warmer regions. The transplant can be started indoors or in a cold frame 4-6 weeks before planting. Grows best in full sun but tolerates partial shade. 

  • Plant 4-8" apart depending on desired leaf size 
  • Plant 1/2" Deep
  • Plant Rows 18-24" apart (or can be grown closer if you like the leaves smaller and harvest for salads vs cooking - we start out at 10" spacing for late spring leaves to munch on then pull up every other one to grow them larger)
