Crop Details

Transplant Conditions: Wait until soil reaches 70°F and nights stay above 55°F before moving outdoors. Harden off for 12 days first.
Direct sow preferred — this crop has sensitive roots and does not transplant well. If starting indoors, use biodegradable pots and disturb roots as little as possible when moving outdoors.

Expert Note: For the crispest, best flavor, keep soil consistently moist and harvest at a firm, salad-slicing size before seeds fully mature.
