Sow and Grow:

Outdoors October-November or February-May, where they are to crop, 5 cm (2-inch) deep, directly into finely-prepared, well-cultivated, fertile soil, which has already been watered. To make the best use of space, sow seeds 23 cm (9-inch) apart, in a wide row in a zigzag pattern, leaving a space of 60 cm (2-feet) between each row.

Seedlings usually appear in 10-18 days. Water well until plants are established. Successiol sowings will ensure a continuous supply and longer harvest.

Or sow indoors February-April, 2.5 cm (1-inch) deep into individual pots of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 15-20 degree C (60-68 degree F) is ideal.

Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out 23 cm (9-inch) apart during April-May. Harvest: June-August.

Hints and tips:

Pinch out growing tips when first pods are approximately 1 cm (4-inch) long.

This encourages an early crop and helps deter blackfly. Ideal for deep freezing. Care and Cultivation:

Early and late sowings benefit from cloche protection.
