Planning notes

  • Corralling
  • Landscape fabric

Cut-and-come-again. A planting keeps producing new stems over a relatively long harvest period when it is picked regularly, so successive plantings are usually spaced farther apart.

  • Corralling for structural support is commonly used.
  • Landscape fabric is commonly used for spacing and weed control.
  • First-production timing varies by cultivar and growing system, so enter the maturity value from your seed supplier to estimate production.
