Planner guidance
How this fits into a home garden plan
Windows: Start outdoors Oct, Nov, Dec; start under cover Sep, Oct.
Space: Allow 30 cm between plants and 30 cm between rows; one square metre can hold about 11 plants before paths and access.
Production: Expect about 1 each per plant over roughly 365 days, so stagger plantings instead of filling the whole bed at once.
Planner notes
- Long crop: give it a planned block so it does not occupy prime quick-crop space by accident.
- Flexible harvest: pick gradually or schedule surplus for neighbours and food-bank donations.
- Good for compact beds and teaching gardens because it produces quickly.

Sources And Local Review
This crop is in the starter library and still needs local SKGF review.
Future idea: this independent source-combined library could support search traffic, donations, and careful seed/garden-supply sponsorship conversations.
