Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prepare your planting area by clearing weeds and loosening the soil to a depth of about 6 inches, then enrich it with compost to improve fertility and drainage.
Planting
  1. Sow lettuce and spinach seeds thinly in rows about 1 inch apart, covering them with a thin layer of soil, then plant radish seeds in a separate row, ensuring proper spacing.
  2. Water the newly planted seeds gently to settle the soil without disturbing them, then continue to water daily to maintain consistent moisture.
Care & Harvest
  1. Ensure the plants receive at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily and thin out seedlings as they grow to prevent overcrowding and promote robust growth.
  2. Begin harvesting outer leaves of lettuce and spinach after 7 days, and gently pull up radishes once their roots are visibly plump.

Notes

For best results, choose a sunny spot in your garden. Consistent watering is key, especially during germination. Harvest regularly to encourage new growth.
