How to Sow and Plant

Sow seeds directly outdoors or start indoors 3–4 weeks before transplanting. Plant seeds ¼ inch (0.6 cm) deep in fertile, well-draining soil. Space seedlings 12–18 inches (30–45 cm) apart. Maintain even soil moisture and provide support if needed. Thin seedlings to allow proper growth.

How to Grow

Provide full sun to partial shade (6–8 hours). Keep soil consistently moist and fertile. Mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Harvest outer leaves regularly to encourage continuous growth. Protect from common pests like aphids using organic methods.

Tips

Succession sowing ensures continuous harvest.

Leaves can be used fresh, cooked, or in smoothies.

Ideal for home gardens and container planting.
