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.
