Cover with seed raising mix.
Water regularly.
Once seedlings emerge, thin seedlings and feed weekly with plant food.
Ready to harvest
Harvest by snipping or pulling leaves at soil level - this will also help encourage leafier growth.

Garden sorrel needs damp soils and temperate conditions.
French sorrel performs best when it is grown in dry, open areas with inhospitable soils.
The plants have very deep and persistent taproots and grow well with little attention.
