Planting at a glance

  • Season: Cool-season leafy perennial
  • Start: Direct sow or start small transplants
  • Seed depth: About ¼ inch
  • Germination: Usually about 10–18 days in moist, mild conditions
  • Final spacing: Allow about 8–12 inches
  • Light: Sun to partial shade
  • Harvest planning: Pick young leaves once the plants are established; later leaves are tougher

When to plant

Plant during your local cool growing season. In colder regions, use spring or late-summer/fall sowings and allow enough growing time before hard freezes.

How to plant

  1. Prepare loose, well-drained soil or a clean seed-starting mix. Direct sow or start small transplants.
  2. Sow About ¼ inch deep. Keep the seedbed evenly moist until seedlings emerge. Then water when the soil needs it, allowing excess water to drain.
  3. Thin or transplant to the listed final spacing. Give seedlings sufficient light and check moisture as roots establish.

How to harvest

Pick a few small outer leaves. Use the tart leaves in modest amounts as a garnish or part of a mixed salad.

Aunt E’s tip: Harvest while the leaves are young for the best texture.

Growing notes
