Allow 30 cm (1-feet) between rows. Early sowings may benefit from cloche protection. Seedlings usually appear in 7-14 days. Thin out to 30 cm (1-feet) apart. Water well until plants are established. Regular sowings, made every two to three weeks, will ensure a continuous supply. Harvest: May-October.
