Ed’s Special Advice: This is one vegetable that can be grown in the landscape because of its decorative value. Can be grown in containers, borders or the vegetable garden. Start cutting outer leaves when plants are about 8 inches tall for extended harvest, new leaves will grow out from the center. Plants grow best in relatively moist fertile soil. Grow during the cooler part of the growing season. Plant in late summer for fall crop. Use leaves from young thinned plants in salads.
