Info: Rapidly growing herb that can be harvested 1 - 3 weeks after sowing. Spicy, tangy taste. As a vitamin-rich addition to salads, for refining vegetable cocktails, pasta, and meat dishes. Blood-purifying effect.
Care: Sow indoors on 3 cm of soil or blotting paper, sow densely, up to 70 g/m². Outdoors with 15 cm row spacing or broadcast, 2 g/m², cover thinly (light promotes germination!) and keep moist. Loves sunny to partially shaded locations and loose, nutrient-rich, humus-rich soils. Outdoor sowing in summer only in shady locations.
Tip: Popular "gap filler" that covers vacated beds after a short time. The young seed leaves are best harvested with scissors.
