Planting Instructions

Planting Season

• Spring or Fall: Ideal for planting in early spring after the last frost or in fall for a late-season harvest.

Planting Details

• Depth: Sow seeds 1/2 inch deep in well-drained, fertile soil.
• Spacing: Space seeds 2-3 inches apart in rows that are 12-18 inches apart to allow for proper growth.
• Light: Prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade.
• Soil: Best suited to loamy, well-drained soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.0). Improve soil fertility with organic matter or compost.

Watering and Care

• Water Needs: Keep soil moist but not soggy. Water regularly, especially during dry periods, to prevent bitterness in the leaves.
• Fertilizing: A light application of balanced fertilizer can be used to promote healthy growth.
• Mulching: Apply organic mulch around the base of plants to conserve moisture, suppress weeds, and maintain even soil temperatures.
• Thinning: Thin seedlings to 6 inches apart to allow for proper air circulation and room for growth.

Harvesting

• When to Harvest: The leaves can be harvested once they are 4-6 inches tall, typically around 30-50 days from planting. For mature greens, allow plants to grow longer.
• How to Harvest: Harvest leaves individually from the outside, allowing the center to continue producing fresh growth. This is a cut-and-come-again plant.
• Storage: Store harvested greens in the refrigerator in a damp cloth or plastic bag for up to 1 week.

Perfect For

• Leafy Green Lovers: Ideal for those who enjoy greens like collards or mustard greens.
• Cool-Season Gardens: A great crop for cooler months, providing a continuous supply of fresh greens in the spring and fall.
• Containers & Raised Beds: Works well in containers or raised beds, making it perfect for small-space gardeners.
• Eco-Friendly Gardens: Beneficial for improving soil health and attracting pollinators.
