Growing Info.:

Harvesting: Harvest in the morning if possible. You may start harvesting leaves when they are 2″ tall, as needed; remove no more than 1/3 of the plant if regrowth is desired, or let plant grow to maturity and harvest entire plant. Late summer crops will last until the first hard freeze.
