Sow indoors

March-April: Sow seeds thinly 1cm (1⁄2in) deep in clean trays or modules of firm pre-watered compost. Place in warmth 10-15°C (50-60°F) and keep moist.

Sow outdoors

April-July: Sow seeds thinly 1cm (1⁄2in) deep directly in harvest location. Keep soil moist at all times. Thin to 25cm (10in) apart.

Plant out

April-June: Plant out into the required harvest position 25cm (10in) apart with 30cm (12in) between each row when plants have 3-4 true leaves.

Keep well watered. Use thinnings as baby leaf. Small sowings made every 3 weeks will ensure a continuous supply.
