Growing Tips

• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist without waterlogging. Mulch around the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
• Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer or compost during the growing season to support lush leaf production.
• Pest Management: Watch for cabbage worms, flea beetles, and aphids. Consider row covers or organic treatments like neem oil to protect young plants.

Harvesting

• Timing: Harvest leaves 6-8 inches long or as desired. Start with outer leaves, leaving the center intact to encourage new growth.
• Method: Use scissors or a knife to cut leaves at the base, harvesting in the morning for maximum moisture and flavor.
• Storage: Wrap leaves in a damp towel, store in the fridge for up to a week, or blanch and freeze for longer storage.
