Reviews
Sow seeds in succession throughout the year under protection for continuous cutting. Sow seeds during autumn and winter to mature under protection. For spring and summer sowings, sow direct in rows, in drills 13mm deep.

This variety does not need to be thinned, but grown as a continuous row. Harvesting of the leaves can commence after about 20 days during summer.

Cut frequently to keep the crop continuously producing new tender leaves.
