How to Grow:

1. Sowing: Sow seeds directly outdoors in early spring or late summer for a winter harvest. Plant seeds 1-2cm ( inch) deep and space them 30cm (12 inches) apart in rows.
2. Germination: Keep the soil consistently moist until germination occurs, typically within 7-14 days.
3. Thinning: Once seedlings develop a few true leaves, thin them to the recommended spacing to promote healthy growth and prevent overcrowding.
4. Care: Water regularly and apply a balanced fertiliser to support robust leaf development. Mulching can help retain moisture and suppress weeds.
5. Harvesting: Begin harvesting leaves when they are large enough to eat, usually around 8-10 weeks after sowing. You can pick outer leaves while allowing the inner leaves to continue growing for a sustained harvest.
