Press seeds lightly into the soil surface and keep them moist; light aids germination. Thin or transplant seedlings to the recommended spacing once they are large enough to handle. Sorrel prefers consistent moisture, especially during hot weather, and benefits from a layer of mulch to keep the soil cool.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHarvest outer leaves as needed, starting when plants are well established. Remove flower stalks to encourage continued leaf production. Divide crowded clumps every few years to maintain vigor.
