• Sowing: Sow 20-30 seeds into a 10-12cm pot using a free draining compost & cover seed lightly after sowing.

Cover with soil, label & water.
• Cultivation: The best tasting leaves come from plants which are grown quickly; this means a temperature of 15-19°C (60-70°F). Under optimum growing conditions a crop of salad leaves can be ready for picking 3-4 weeks from sowing. Slower growing crops can become more fibrous and hotter flavored. Once cut the plants should have sufficient energy for re-growth to provide a second or even third crop of leaves, giving a regular supply with "little and often" sowings.
