1. 🌱 How to Sow

Sow thinly in prepared soil or a broad planter, cover according to the listed depth and gently firm. Thin seedlings to the indicated spacing so foliage has airflow.

2. ☀️ Sunlight, Soil & Water

• Light: Provide sun in cool weather; during hot periods offer some afternoon protection to limit bolting.
• Soil: Use a clean, loose, fertile-enough mix with unobstructed drainage. Avoid waterlogged containers.
• Watering: Maintain even moisture for tender leafy growth, without saturating the pot.

3. 🌿 Fertilizer & Growth Care

Incorporate a moderate amount of mature compost and use a balanced feed only if leaf growth indicates a need.

4. 🐛 Common Pests & Prevention

Check for flea beetle holes, aphids and caterpillars on brassica-family leaves; insect mesh can reduce exposure. Inspect plants weekly, remove damaged foliage and avoid automatic pesticide spraying. If treatment is required, use only a locally authorised product labelled for the edible crop and observe all label directions.

5. 🛡️ Diseases & Prevention

Reduce damping-off, mildew and leaf-spot risk with good drainage, crop hygiene and watering near the soil. Isolate heavily affected plants and seek local horticultural advice if symptoms spread.

6. ✂️ Harvesting / Flowering

Cut baby leaves when large enough for use or harvest mature leaves gradually, leaving a growing centre for regrowth; warm conditions can make flavour stronger.
