rows four feet apart and two feet in the rows. Cut the tops 
off in winter and protect with a heavy covering of straw 
or leaves. The first season will only yield a partial crop. 
The second year thin the shoots to three of the best and 
these will begin to form heads early in summer. 
Another use is to cut back the stems close to the ground 
early in summer. The young shoots which start up rapidly 
may be tied close together, filling in between with soil to 
exclude the air until they are blanched and these are used 
in various forms of cookery or as a salad.
