Planner guidance
How this fits into a home garden plan
Windows: Start outdoors Oct, Nov, Dec; start under cover Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov.
Space: Allow 50 cm between plants and 50 cm between rows; one square metre can hold about 4 plants before paths and access.
Production: Expect about 4 kg per plant over roughly 56 days, so stagger plantings instead of filling the whole bed at once.
Planner notes
- Flexible harvest: pick gradually or schedule surplus for neighbours and food-bank donations.

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.
