Tips & Advice:
Sowing Outdoors
Sow seeds thinly in a shallow pre-watered row, lightly covering with a little soil. Keep soil moist as dry conditions impair germination. Remember small sowings made every three weeks through the summer should ensure a continuous supply. Allow 20cm between rows.
Thinning
Thin seedlings to about 15cm apart when large enough to handle. Ensure remaining seedlings are still firm in the soil.
Aftercare
Water plants generously in dry weather.
Advice
Pick when large enough to use; frequent picking will give a longer cropping period. Try mixing with baby spinach leaves and herbs for an aromatic salad.
