Sowing Indoors
- Level fill a module tray with seed compost firming with the base of another tray. We recommend using Gro-Sure Seed and Cutting Compost or Westland John Innes Seed Sowing Compost
- Water well
- Sow seeds individually, on edge, pushing into compost 2cm (1in) deep
- Place in the warmth 20-25°C (65-75°F)
- Cover with cling film and keep moist
Growing On
- Remove cling film as soon as shoots appear
- Keep seedlings in a light position, but shade from direct sunlight
- When large enough to handle, transplant into 9cm (3 1/2 in) pots of potting compost
- Grow on in a minimum temperature of 15°C (60°F)
Planting Out
- Plant into the greenhouse border 30cm (12in) apart, grow bags or 30cm (12i) diameter containers of sunny, sheltered, frost free patio when first flowers have opened
- Water and feed well to promote fruiting.
- If male flowers form (those without a swelling behind them), remove them as soon as they are noticed
Growing Tips
- Water and feed regularly
- Indoor crops require plenty of ventilation in summer and a climbing support for them to scramble up
