Sowing Indoors
- Almost fill a tray with moist seed compost. We recommend using Gro-Sure Seed and Cutting Compost or Westland John Innes Seed Sowing Compost
- Sow seeds thinly over the surface, and lightly cover them with a little more compost
- Place in the warmth 10-15°C (50-60°F), and keep moist
- When large enough to handle, transplant seedlings 5cm (2in) apart to trays of potting compost
- Gradually accustom them to conditions outside for 2-3 weeks before planting out to their cropping positions 25cm (10in) apart from late spring onwards
Sowing Outdoors
- Sow seeds thinly in a shallow row, lightly covering with a little soil
- Keep soil moist
Thinning
- Thin seedlings to about 25cm (10in) apart when large enough to handle
- Ensure remaining seedlings are still firm in the soil
Aftercare
- Water plants generously in dry weather
Growing Tips
- Pick when large enough to use
- Frequent picking will give a longer cropping period
- Sow every three weeks to keep a continuous supply
