How To Grow |
Sow 12mm (1/2in) deep in clumps 50cm (20in) apart. Ensure rows are spaced 100cm (40in) apart. Cover with a layer of soil or compost and firm gently. Keep soil moist and warm. Seedlings appear in 6-10 days. Thin to the two strongest seedlings. To encourage side shoots, pinch the growing tip out at the 5-6 leaf stage. Keep well-watered and fertilised. |
