Planner guidance
How this fits into a home garden plan
Windows: Start outdoors Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov; start under cover not listed.
Space: Allow 20 cm between plants and 20 cm between rows; one square metre can hold about 24 plants before paths and access.
Production: Expect about 1 kg per plant over roughly 28 days, so stagger plantings instead of filling the whole bed at once.
Planner notes
- Long crop: give it a planned block so it does not occupy prime quick-crop space by accident.
- 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.
