Technical specifications
Approx. Seed count | 500 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 and cover the seeds with compost or vermiculite. For outdoor sowings, sow seeds thinly in well-prepared soil. Water regularly, especially during dry periods. |
What to Do Next | Once early sowings have germinated, transplant 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 | October to March |
