Harvest
Sowing & growing
Sow under cover Feb-March. Sow in modules, pots or guttering, 4-5cm deep in seed compost, and provide a cane or stick for seedling to climb up once germinated. Harden off before transplanting outside. Direct sow from March-June once the soil has warmed up. Sow in flat-bottomed drills, 5cm apart. Sow two seeds per sowing and thin out weaker seedling.
Aftercare
Protect from birds with netting once the seedlings appear. Plants will require support to climb. Pea sticks or netting works well.
