Sow in pots under cover. Cover seeds with a thin layer of soil. Transplant a first time in the nursery when plants have 2 to 3 leaves, every 10 cm, so that the roots take on "hair" before being put in place. Transplant when plants have 4 to 5 leaves, every 50 cm in rows spaced 50 cm apart, without burying the stem too deeply. For sowing in the open ground, sow lightly in rows spaced 50 cm apart. Thin out to 50 cm along the row.
The most advanced leaves are harvested from autumn to spring.

This is a selection from Josh Volk and Frank Morton in Oregon. Frank says the result totally resembles the illustration of the "Chou Palmier" in Vilmorin-Andrieux's antique book.
