Sow: March to May
Harvest: June to September
Sowing
Almost fill a seed tray with moist seed compost. Sow seeds thinly over the surface and lightly cover with a little more compost. Place in the warmth (20–25°C) and keep moist but not too wet. Allow about 3 weeks for germination.
Growing On
Keep seedlings in a light position, but shade from direct sunlight. When large enough to handle, transplant to 8 cm pots, allowing 3 to 4 seedlings per pot.
Hardening Off/Planting Out
Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions for 2–3 weeks before planting out. Allow 30 cm between plants. If growing in containers, choose a pot at least 20 cm in diameter.
