Planting and maintenance:
Sow as soon as the soil can be worked in spring, then continue sowing every two weeks as long as the weather remains cool. Sow at a depth of approximately 3 mm, in rows spaced 45 cm apart or in clumps, in rich, well-drained soil in full sun. Maintain consistent moisture and thin the seedlings to about 30 cm apart to allow for the formation of good-sized buds. Harvest before bolting to preserve freshness and crispness.
