Growing Notes
- No routine soaking or other pretreatment is needed for the standard covered-sowing method; follow any warning on the physical lot packet.
- Keep the seed zone evenly moist without saturation and give seedlings bright light.
- Thin or transplant without burying the growing point, then harvest lower outside leaves while leaving the centre intact.
Seed and food safety: Do not eat sowing seed or use it as food or feed. Raw seed does not prove untreated or food-grade status. Follow all supplied treatment and handling warnings. Use only controls labelled for edible brassicas and observe the harvest interval.
