Sowing Guide - Indoors: Sow indoors all year round for indoor crops and March to May for outdoor crop. Sow 0.5cm (1/4") deep, in small pots of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 15-20oC (60-68oF) is ideal. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days. Grow on in cooler, but not cold conditions. Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out 20cm (8") apart. Alternatively plants can be grown on a light windowsill.
Sowing Guide - Outdoors: Sow outdoors for ease, where they are to crop, 0.5cm (1/4") deep directly into finely prepared soil which has already been watered. Thin seedlings to 20cm (8") apart.
Soil Type: Well drained, fertile
Position: Full sun
Hints & Tips: In areas with heavy damp soils it may be best to grow outdoor crops in containers. Remove flowers to prolong picking.
