Growing Instructions

Sunlight: Full sun to partial sun is suitable, with light shade helping during warm weather.

Watering: Keep consistently moist to encourage tender, steady leaf growth.

Sowing Depth: Sow shallowly, generally about one-quarter inch deep.

Spacing: Thin according to the desired harvest stage, leaving more room for full-size plants.

Germination: Cool to mild conditions commonly support germination in four to fourteen days.

Harvesting Time: Harvest baby leaves early or pick mature outer leaves while allowing the center to continue growing where appropriate.

Days to Harvest: Many leafy vegetables can be harvested young within thirty to forty days, with full-size plants taking longer.

Plant Height: Most leafy crops remain compact to medium sized depending on variety.

Care Tips: Sow successively for extended harvests, maintain moisture, and use cooler seasons to reduce bolting.
