Suggestions: To make sure plants get all the nitrogen
they need, add composted manure or other nitrogen-rich matter to the soil before
planting. Cover plants with floating row covers to prevent aphids, cabbageworms
and flea beetles from reaching young plants. Harvest leaves (starting at the bottom
of the plant) as soon as they are large enough.
