How to Sow and Plant

Sow seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors after the last frost when soil is warm. Plant seeds 0.25 in (0.6 cm) deep. Space seedlings 12–18 in (30–45 cm) apart. Thin seedlings as they grow. Maintain consistent moisture and provide support if necessary.

How to Grow

Provide full sun to partial shade (4–6 hours daily). Keep soil fertile and evenly moist. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Harvest outer leaves regularly to encourage continuous growth. Monitor for pests like aphids and treat organically.

Tips

Succession sowing allows continuous harvest.

Leaves and stems are great for raw or cooked dishes.

Works well in raised beds, garden patches, or containers.
