It holds its texture well in a salad that has to sit for a while, and it is slower to bolt than most, which earns it a place in the warmer half of the year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSowing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow seeds about 3 to 5mm deep, barely covered, as the seed needs light.

Keep the water up and even, and mulch to hold moisture around the shallow roots.
