   • Directly sow seeds outdoors 2-4 weeks before the last frost for spring planting or in late summer for a fall harvest.
   • Plant seeds 1/4 to 1/2 inch (0.6-1.25 cm) deep, spacing them 12-18 inches (30-45 cm) apart in rows.
   • Space rows 18-24 inches (45-60 cm) apart to allow for leaf expansion.

3. Germination:

   • Germination typically occurs within 7-14 days at a temperature of 60-75°F (15-24°C).

4. Transplanting:

   • Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost date when they have at least two sets of true leaves.
   • Space seedlings 12-18 inches (30-45 cm) apart in rows.

5. Care:

   • Water regularly to keep the soil moist.
   • Mulch to retain moisture and regulate temperature.

Harvesting:
Harvest leaves when they reach the desired size, typically 60-80 days after planting. Start harvesting from the bottom up, leaving the center leaves to grow.
