Growing Tips for Organic Red Veined Sorrel Seeds

1. Planting: Sow Red Veined Sorrel seeds directly in the garden after the last frost or start them indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost date. Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep and 12-18 inches apart, allowing plenty of space for the plant to spread. Thin seedlings to 8-12 inches apart for optimal growth.

2. Soil: Red Veined Sorrel thrives in well-draining, fertile soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.0). Incorporate compost or aged manure into the soil before planting to enhance fertility and moisture retention.

3. Sunlight: Red Veined Sorrel grows best in full sun to partial shade. In hotter climates, provide some afternoon shade to prevent the leaves from becoming too bitter.

4. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Regular watering is key to maintaining tender, flavorful leaves. Mulch around the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

5. Fertilizing: Feed Red Veined Sorrel with a balanced organic fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Avoid over-fertilizing, which can lead to excessive leaf growth at the expense of flavor.

6. Harvesting: Begin harvesting Red Veined Sorrel when the leaves are young and tender, usually 4-6 weeks after planting. Regularly pick the outer leaves, allowing the plant to continue producing new growth throughout the season. Leaves can be harvested multiple times, making it a productive addition to your garden.

7. Pest and Disease Management: Red Veined Sorrel is relatively pest-resistant, but keep an eye out for slugs and aphids. Use organic pest control methods, such as diatomaceous earth for slugs and neem oil for aphids, to protect your plants.

8. Overwintering: Red Veined Sorrel is a hardy perennial that can overwinter in many climates. In colder regions, mulch heavily around the base of the plants to protect the roots from freezing temperatures.
