Care & Harvest:
Days to sprout: 7 – 15 days
Matures in: 45 days
Taste it for: 3 – 5 weeks
- Pick individual leaves or wait and harvest full heads.
- For ongoing harvest, you can begin harvesting once the leaves reach about 4 inches tall. Harvest the outer leaves of the head and let the inner leaves continue to grow and mature. Just snip either single outer leaves or grab a bunch of them and cut them with scissors one inch above the base of the plant. Be careful; if you cut into or below the base, the plant may die, so leave the small leaves in the middle to regrow easily.
- Do not cut more than a third of the plant in you want it to keep growing.
