Sowing Outdoors

Sow seeds thinly in a pre-watered shallow row, and lightly cover seeds 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.

Special note

Pick leaves as required. Can be grown under fleece to protect from flea beetle.
