Outdoors: sow thinly, March-October where they are to crop, 1.5cm (½") deep, directly into finely-prepared, fertile, well-drained soil, which has already been watered. Sow May to August for mature heads or baby leaf. Allow 40cm (16") between rows. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days. Keep well watered in dry spells. Harvest un-thinned as baby leaves, or thin to 25cm (10") apart to produce mature plants. Regular sowings, made every two to three weeks, will ensure a continuous supply. For baby leaf only, sow March to May and September to October under cloches or fleece. Harvest: mature heads between June and October and baby leaf from May to December.
