Sowing Indoors
Almost fill a seed tray with moist seed compost. Sow seeds thinly over the surface, and lightly cover them with a little more compost. Place in warmth 10-15C (50-60F) and keep moist.
Growing on / thinning
Keep seedlings in a light position, but shade from bright sun. When large enough to handle, transplant to 8cm (3in) pots, allowing 3 or 4 seedlings per pot.
Hardening off / planting
Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions for 2-3 weeks before planting out. Allow 30cm (12in) between each group of plants.
Special note
Alternatively, sow pinches of seed in 8cm pots, and allow the plants to mature in the pots on a warm windowsill.
