Growing Guide
Season: Cool to mild, relatively dry growing weather.
Sowing: Direct-sow into a fine, fertile, draining bed and thin seedlings for the intended leaf or seed crop.
Soil and feeding: Use a well-drained growing medium with mature compost. Feed according to crop needs, soil fertility and the fertiliser label, rather than a fixed schedule for every vegetable.
Care and Harvest Guide
Maintain moderate moisture without stagnant soil; weed gently and avoid unnecessary heavy feeding.
Cut tender greens for cooking or leave designated plants to mature dry pods for seed.
Follow packet depth and spacing for the actual seed line. Keep the seedbed moist, not saturated, and protect young seedlings from heavy rain.
