Sowing Instructions

Outdoors:

Sow seeds directly into prepared soil from March to May. Space rows 30 cm apart, placing seeds 3–4 cm apart within the row. Cover lightly with soil and keep moist until germination. Thin seedlings to 15 cm apart for young leaves or 30 cm for mature plants.

 

Containers:

Fill pots with quality compost, sow seeds on the surface, and cover lightly. Place in a sunny or partially shaded location, keeping the soil consistently moist.

 

Harvesting:

Begin harvesting young leaves 6–8 weeks after sowing. Regular picking encourages new growth. For extended harvests into winter, protect plants with cloches or frames.
