• Planting & Spacing: Space plants 12-18 inches apart to allow for good air circulation and room for mature growth.
• Watering Practices: Maintain consistent soil moisture, especially during dry periods. Mulching helps retain moisture and keeps roots cool.
• Harvesting Guidelines: Begin harvesting outer leaves when plants are established. For best flavor and tenderness, harvest young leaves regularly. In hot weather, consider afternoon shade to maintain leaf quality.
