One of the fastest salad greens — harvest as baby leaves in 25 days or mature leaves in 40 days. Spicy peppery flavor intensifies in heat. Bolt quickly in warm weather; succession sow every 3 weeks. Tolerates light frost. Cut-and-come-again: leave 1" of growth and new leaves emerge. Flea beetles are the major pest — row covers provide excellent protection.
