Planner guidance

How this fits into a home garden plan

Windows: Start outdoors Oct, Nov, Dec; start under cover Sep, Oct.

Space: Allow 45 cm between plants and 45 cm between rows; one square metre can hold about 4 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.

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.
