Kardoen organic seeds

The organic Cardoon looks nice in the vegetable garden because of the artichoke-like flowers. The plant can grow up to one and a half meters. The petioles of cardoon are edible, after cooking. These stems are usually bleached to reduce the stringiness.

Sow cardoons in the open ground in May. Sow a few seeds per spot, leave the strongest plant and remove the rest. Pre-sowing in a pot and then planting out is also possible. Begin bleaching the plant at the end of August: make sure the leaves are dry when you tie the leaves together, otherwise the leaves will easily become tainted. Wrap the leaves with a piece of string, preventing light from reaching the leaves. Originally, jute was always used for this, but another air-permeable material that blocks light is also possible.

Cardoon is therefore a heat-loving plant. Cardoon is originally from the Mediterranean region. Therefore, give cardoons preferably in a sheltered spot in your vegetable garden. The plant produces a lot of leaves in a short time and therefore needs a fertile, moist soil. Before planting, add some extra compost or well-rotted manure. Loosen the soil well before planting. You could fertilize a little more during the growth period if necessary.
