Picked small it wakes up a salad mix, grown on it is a handsome stir-fry green, and it is one of the fastest cool season crops going.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSowing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow seeds direct about 5mm deep.

Heat and dry ground turn the leaves fierce and send the plant to seed, so this is an autumn to spring crop in most areas. The colour deepens as the weather cools.
