Features: Provides quality harvests over a long season.
Sowing Guide - Indoors: Sow indoors 0.5cm (1/4") deep, in a tray of compost. Water well and place in a cold frame or unheated greenhouse. Keep moist. Transplant 5cm (2") apart to other trays when large enough to handle. Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out.
Sowing Guide - Outdoors: Sow outdoors thinly in a seed bed, 1.5cm (1/2") deep directly into finely prepared soil which has already been watered. Seedlings usually appear in 14-28 days. Water well until plants are established. Transplant 45cm (18") apart when plants are about 10cm (4") tall. Allow 45cm (18") between rows. Plant firmly and water well. Sowings made every three to four weeks will ensure a continuous supply into autumn.
Soil Type: Well cultivated, fertile soil
