How to Guide

Sowing Indoors

Unwins sprouting seeds can be grown successfully on any warm, light windowsill which is not in full sun all day. Place two layers of absorbent growing medium, like kitchen roll, into a shallow dish or tray. These should be thoroughly wet, but drained of excess water.

Sow the seed fairly thickly over the wet growing medium. Place the dish in a warm, light airy position. Maintain a temperature of around 15C (60F). Keep the sowing moist but not saturated. This will ensure rapid germination.

Depending on the exact growing conditions, the young seedlings should be ready for harvesting with a pair of scissors five to ten days after sowing.
