Growing tips

March-May, 0.5cm deep in pots with seed compost. Keep moist and warm, a temperature of approx. 15°C is ideal. As soon as the plants are large enough, transplant them into other pots 5 cm apart. Harden off gradually and plant out at a distance of 45 cm or plant outdoors from April to September 1.5 cm deep in finely prepared soil. Keep moist. Thinning is not necessary if only the young leaves are required. Thin out to 45 cm for mature plants. Regular sowing every 2-3 weeks ensures a continuous supply. Keep well watered.
