Planning notes

One-hit producer. A planting gives a concentrated harvest over a short window, so more frequent successive plantings are used to keep a continuous supply.

  • This crop can be direct sown.
  • First-production timing varies by cultivar and growing system, so enter the maturity value from your seed supplier to estimate production.
