How to Grow:

1. Sowing: Sow seeds directly outdoors in early spring or late summer for a continuous harvest. Plant seeds 0.5cm ( inch) deep and space them 25cm (10 inches) apart in rows.
2. Germination: Keep the soil consistently moist until germination occurs, typically within 7-14 days.
3. Thinning: Once seedlings develop a few true leaves, thin them to the recommended spacing to ensure proper air circulation and prevent overcrowding.
4. Care: Water regularly, especially during dry spells, and apply a balanced fertiliser to encourage healthy growth.
5. Harvesting: Harvest when heads are firm and well-formed, usually around 8-10 weeks after sowing. You can cut the whole head or pick outer leaves as needed for a continuous harvest.
