Planner guidance

How this fits into a home garden plan

Windows: Start outdoors Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb, Mar; start under cover not listed.

Space: Allow 10 cm between plants and 10 cm between rows; one square metre can hold about 99 plants before paths and access.

Production: Expect about 1 each per plant over roughly 30 days, so stagger plantings instead of filling the whole bed at once.

Planner notes

  • Good for compact beds and teaching gardens because it produces quickly.

Sources And Local Review

This crop is in the starter library and still needs local SKGF review.

Future idea: this independent source-combined library could support search traffic, donations, and careful seed/garden-supply sponsorship conversations.
