Harvest after transplanting through Solar Mulch and covered with a cloche (early June): early maturity = 11 weeks, inter. = 12 weeks
Solar Mulch was required for assurance of successful crop. The cloche sped up maturity by about 1 week with the planting. The cloche will be essential for earlier transplanting dates.
