Growing & Sowing Tips
📅 SowingBroadcast directly onto the soil in early autumn or in spring; sow in frequent successions.
🌱 Depth0.5-1 cm
📏 Spacing10-15 cm
🌞 SunFull sun / partial shade (full sun in the cool season, partial shade preferred in warm periods, as shade delays bolting in the heat)
💧 WateringLow to moderate; winter and spring rainfall is usually enough
🧺 HarvestOnce the leaves reach 5-8 cm long, pick the outer leaves or cut the whole plant
🪴 SoilModerately fertile, well-draining; cold-hardy, grows even in light frost
⭐ DifficultyEasy
🗓️ SeasonAutumn / Winter / Spring
📅 Calendar is for the Northern Hemisphere; in the Southern Hemisphere shift sowing times by ~6 months.
💡 Key tip: Grown under a greenhouse or tunnel in winter, it provides fresh salad all season.
🤝 Companion logic: It is compatible with almost every cool-season vegetable; it is especially ideal for intercropping among onions/shallots/leeks/garlic and beside carrots, radish and brassicas. Because it grows in a low rosette, avoid leaving it in the shade of large, spreading plants (squash, cucumber, potato). It has no notable bad neighbour (some sources suggest keeping it away from sage and lovage).
