Sowing Time
Indoors: March – August
Outdoors: April – August
Sowing Indoors
Almost fill a seed tray with moist seed compost. Sow seeds thinly over the surface and lightly cover them with a little more compost. Place in the warmth 10-15 degrees Celsuis (50-60 Fahrenheit) and keep moist. When large enough to handle transplant seedlings 5cm (2in) apart to trays of potting compost. Gradualy accustom them to conditions outside for 2-3 weeks before planting out to their cropping positions 25cm (10in) apart from late spring onwards.
Sowing Outdoors
Sow seeds thinly in a shallow, pre-watered row. Lightly cover with a little soil. Keep soil moist as dry conditions impair germination. Small sowing made every three weeks ensure a continuous supply.
Thinning
Thin seedlings to about 25cm (10in) apart when large enough to handle. Ensure remaining seedlings are still firm in the soil.
Aftercare
Water plants generously in dry weather.
