Planner guidance

How this fits into a home garden plan

Windows: Start outdoors Sep, Oct, Nov; start under cover not listed.

Space: Allow 60 cm between plants and 60 cm between rows; one square metre can hold about 2 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

  • Fast crop: sow small batches every 2-3 weeks while it is in season.
  • Space-heavy crop: best as an add-on once the core salad, herb, and leafy crops are covered.

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.
