Easy to grow and prolific, producing delicious leaves and wide, crisp stalks throughout summer and fall. Leaves are eaten like spinach but are not as fussy about weather and soil. Grows well in containers.
When and Where to Plant: Select a sunny location and sow seed as soon as the ground can be worked. In mild areas, plant any time of year. Cultivate soil and enrich with vegetable food. Firm soil over seed.
Care: Keep soil moist, weed free, and feed every 4 weeks.
Harvesting: Break or cut outer leaves off at base when 6-8 in./15-20 cm. wide. Pick and discard old or tough leaves and flower stalks.
