Preparation
  1. Prepare your growing containers by filling them with a mix of potting soil and compost, leaving an inch of space from the top.
Planting
  1. Spread coleslaw seeds evenly over the soil surface and lightly cover them with a thin layer of compost, ensuring not to bury them too deeply.
Watering & Care
  1. Gently water the seeds using a spray bottle to keep the soil consistently moist, and place the containers in a sunny spot receiving at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
Harvesting
