Plant seeds about 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep and keep the soil evenly moist until germination, which typically occurs within 7-14 days. Thin seedlings to the recommended spacing to allow for healthy growth.

Provide consistent moisture and mulch to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Harvest outer leaves when they are young and tender, or cut the entire plant for a continuous supply of greens. For best flavor, harvest before the leaves become large and tough.
