Direct sow seeds into prepared garden beds or containers. Plant seeds shallowly and keep soil consistently moist until germination. Thin seedlings to 6 to 8 inches apart once they develop their first true leaves.
Begin harvesting outer leaves once the plant reaches 4 to 6 inches tall, cutting from the base and allowing the center to continue growing. For full heads, wait until leaves are fully colored and heads feel firm to the touch. Harvest in the morning when leaves are crisp and hydrated. Cut heads at soil level or harvest individual leaves as needed throughout the season.
