Question
I planted a veggie box using some of your wonderful veggie plants. Can you offer some advice on the best way to harvest the red stem spinach, red lettuce and baby carrots? Do the greens just get cut from the bottom? The red stem spinach is growing very tall. Thank you soo much!

Answer
The best way to harvest the lettuce and red stem spinach (chard?) is to remove the outside leaves. They should twist off easily without cutting. Leave the younger inner leaves. This will allow you to continually harvest from your plants without removing them and starting over. The baby carrots should be thinned to 1/2 inch to 1 inch apart. For continual carrots, you should reseed every 3 to 4 weeks.
