Growing and Care

• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist, especially during germination. Water weekly once established.
• Mulching: Apply mulch to help retain moisture and control weeds.
• Fertilizer: If needed, use a balanced organic fertilizer, especially in nutrient-poor soils.

Pest and Disease Management

• Pests: Flea beetles are a common pest; row covers can prevent infestations.
• Diseases: Avoid disease by practicing crop rotation and maintaining clean soil.

Harvesting Tips

• Baby Greens: Harvest when leaves are 3-6 inches long, cutting about an inch above the soil.
• Mature Leaves: Cut leaves just above the basal plate to allow for regrowth.
• Edible Flowers: Harvest the white flowers when they bloom for a spicy, nutty garnish.
