Further description
Late spring and summer crops are ready to harvest from approx. 21-35 days. Autumn and winter crops take approx. 60-90 days depending on temperature.
Preparation and Usage
SOW OUTDOORS: Thinly where they are to crop, 2.5cm deep directly into finely prepared soil which has already been watered. Sowings from July onwards should only be grown for baby leaves. Allow 30cm between rows. Early sowings may benefit from cloche protection. Seedlings usually appear in 7-14 days. Water well and ensure soil remains moist to prevent plants running to seed. Harvest unthinned as baby leaves. Take a few leaves from each plant allowing them to regrow for two or three more pickings. Or, thin to 10cm apart to produce mature plants. Regular sowings made every two to three weeks will ensure a continuous supply. Pick young leaves regularly to encourage further growth. Do not allow plants to dry out as this will make them bolt.
