  2. Soil Preparation: Incorporate compost or organic matter into the soil to enhance fertility and drainage.
  3. Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist, especially in hot, dry weather. Avoid waterlogging, which can cause root rot.
  4. Fertilization: Lightly fertilize with an organic, balanced fertilizer at planting time and once again midway through the growing season.
  5. Harvesting: Harvest young leaves for a milder flavor, or wait until the plant matures for larger, more robust leaves. Pick leaves regularly to encourage continuous growth.
