Sow & Grow:
Outdoors: sow thinly, March-July, where they are to crop, 1.5cm (½") deep, directly into finely-prepared, well-dug, fertile soil, which has already been watered. Allow 15cm (6") between rows.
Early sowings may benefit from cloche protection. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days. No thinning is required, but keep well watered in dry spells.
Regular sowings, made every two to three weeks, will ensure a continuous supply through the summer.
Harvest: May-October.
