Sowing Outdoors

Sow seeds thinly in pre-watered shallow rows, and cover with a little soil. Keep soil moist as dry conditions impair germination.

Remember small sowings made every three weeks through the summer should ensure a continuous supply.

Growing on / thinning

Thin seedlings to about 10cm (4in) apart when large enough to handle.

Ensure remaining seedlings are still firm in the soil.

Aftercare

Water plants generously in dry weather.
