Technical specifications
Approx. Seed count | 75 seeds |
When to Sow | January to February under glass or March to April outdoors. |
Where To Sow | For early sowings, use pots or trays under glass at 14°C, covering seeds with compost or vermiculite. For outdoor sowings, sow seeds thinly in drills, spaced in well-prepared soil. Water regularly, especially during dry periods. |
What to do Next | Once early sowings have germinated, transplant them into individual pots and grow under glass until April. Then, move them to a cold frame to harden off before planting out at the recommended spacing. For outdoor sowings, carefully lift plants once they are large enough to handle, and transplant to the same spacing using a trowel or dibber, and water in. |
Harvest | November to February |
