Coverage & Planting Details
| Coverage | This packet sows up to two 10"x20" flats. |
|---|---|
| Seed Depth | ½" |
| Seed Spacing | 3/4" |
| Thinning | Not required. |
| Germination | 5–10 days |
| Start Indoors | RECOMMENDED. Sow indoors any time of year, with indoor temperatures 60°–75°F. Successive Sowings: Every 2 weeks for a continual supply. |
| Direct Sow | 2 to 4 weeks before your average last frost date, when soil temperature is at least 40°F, ideally 75°–90°F. Sow as late as 2 months before first fall frost. Mild climates: Sow in fall. |
| Growing & Harvesting | When seedlings emerge, the first pair of leaves to show are the cotyledons, which can look very different from the leaves that follow, called "true" leaves. Baby greens are ready to harvest when they have true leaves, at 2"–4". Slow growers, or cool growing temperatures may require more time. Harvest by cutting just above the soil line. For more than one harvest (up to 3 before flavor declines) leave about 1/2" of leafy growth on the small plants so they can regenerate. |
