GROWING TIPS
Plant seeds directly in the garden 1-2 weeks before average last frost date. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 65-85°. Or, start seed indoors 4-6 weeks before transplanting into the garden. Transplant to the garden 1 week after your average last frost date. Harvest as baby greens or full size leaves. Can be used as salad greens, cooked in soups and mixed with swiss chard and spinach. Sow again in mid-late summer for a fall harvest. Or, plant in late fall for an early spring crop. Harvesting outer leaves encourages new growth on the plant. Great for container and in-ground gardening.
