Sowing & growing
Sow indoors Feb-Apr on the surface of seed compost and cover with fine layer of compost or vermiculite, do not exclude light. Place in a propagator at 16-19°C or on a sunny windowsill. Grow on at a minimum of 10°C. Can also be sown outside Apr-May in well-prepared fine soil. Sow in rills 30cm apart and cover lightly, keep moist until germinated. Thin out when large enough to handle.
