Transplant 5 cm apart into other trays of compost when seedlings are large enough to handle. Gradually accustom to cooler conditions before planting out from April onwards. Allow 20 cm between plants.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSowing Outdoors\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eRake soil to provide a firm, even surface.
