This variety is part of our naturally nurtured range, the seed comes from an organic source
SOW & GROW: from March to October, in situ or in pots for transplanting, seed depth 10-25mm. Plant out at 15cm spacing. Harvest the dark green round leaves for use in salads or cooked, ready to start picking just 4-5 weeks from sowing. In a mild area it can overwinter or be grown with protection for fresh leaves into the next spring.
EAT: as soon as possible after harvesting! Use small leaves raw in salads or lightly cook or steam whole leaves slicing them after cooking. Freeze young leaves: wash then blanche for 1 minute, drain and plunge into cold water, drain and squeeze, chop if desired. Cook from frozen: 5 mins in a covered saucepan without adding any extra water, drain, season and serve.
