Great tasting, attractive leaves which are fast to grow, slow to bolt and perfect for picking as 'baby' leaf. Can be grown under cover in autumn and winter to provide year round harvests and a continuous supply of leaves.
Sow indoors, to grow in a tunnel or greenhouse from October to March. Sow into cells trays of compost in gentle warmth. Transplant to borders or large pots when approx. 7.5cm (3”) tall. Keep moist. Sow outdoors thinly where they are to crop, 2.5cm (1”) deep directly into finely prepared soil which has already been watered for sowings from March to September. Allow 25cm (10”) between rows. Seedlings usually appear in 7-21 days. Keep moist. Harvest unthinned as baby leaves. Or, thin to 10cm (4”) apart for mature plants.
