Description
A nice leaf with serrated edges, I often use this in Ramen soup noodles.
Sow direct Apr-Oct. Sow under glass Sep-Mar, I tend to avoid hot summer time as can be quick to bolt. If you are sowing direct, sow 3mm deep into prepared soil. I multi-sow under cover into pots filled with soil which have been soaked with water and drained. Sow 3mm deep. Germination is quick so prick out when large enough to handle into modules to grow on. Transplant out 2-3 weeks from sowing with cloche protection if required. When plants establish thin to 10cm for babyleaf and 40cm for mature plants. Successional sow every 21 days. Prefers rich loamy soil with high water retention in an open position. Water well in dry conditions. Cut and come again variety than can be cut back 4-5 times with new growth being more resistant to frosts and snow. Simply cut with scissors as required when the plant is 5-10cm tall. Cut above the bottom set of leaves and do not cut the growing point. Can also harvest whole plants
