- Cut and come again
- Extremely bolt resistant
Sow: March to September
Harvest: May to October
Sowing
Sow seeds thinly in a shallow pre-watered row, lightly covering with a little soil. Keep soil moist, as dry conditions impair germination. Small sowings made every three weeks through the summer should ensure a continuous supply. Allow 20 cm between rows.
Thinning
Thin seedlings to about 15 cm apart when large enough to handle. Ensure remaining seedlings are still firm in the soil.
Aftercare
Water plants generously in dry weather.
Advice
Pick when large enough to use; frequent picking will give a longer cropping period. Try mixing with baby spinach leaves and herbs for an aromatic salad.
