Sow and Grow:

Outdoors: sow thinly, March-July where they are to crop, 1.5 cm (1/2-inch) deep, directly into finely-prepared, fertile, moisture-retentive soil, which has already been watered. Allow 25 cm (10-inch) between rows. Early sowings may benefit from cloche protection. Seedlings usually appear in 7-14 days. Thin out to 15 cm (6-inch) apart. Water well until plants are established. Regular sowings, made every two to three weeks, will ensure a continuous supply. Harvest: May-October.

Hints and Tips:

Ideal for gardens where space is limited, or even in large pots, if kept well watered.
