Troubleshooting
Seedlings are failing to emerge
Check that seeds were not buried deeper than 1cm and ensure the soil remains consistently moist and not dried out.
Leaves are tasting bitter
This is often caused by heat stress or lack of water; ensure the plants are well-watered and provide some shade during peak afternoon sun.
Plants are overcrowded and spindly
Thin out the seedlings promptly to the recommended distances of 10cm or 30cm to allow for proper airflow and development.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, prepare your soil by raking it to a fine tilth to ensure good seed-to-soil contact. Sow your seeds thinly at a depth of 1cm, keeping drills spaced 38cm apart. Once the seedlings are large enough to handle, thin them out: space them 10cm apart if you prefer baby leaves, or 30cm apart if you want to grow them to full maturity. Keep the soil consistently moist throughout the growing cycle. Ensure the plants are positioned in an area with sufficient sunlight, although this variety also tolerates semi-shaded spots quite well.
