For container growing – sow thinly direct into the compost. For raised beds try sowing in 30cm (12″) squares sowing a few seeds every 7.5cm (3″) 13mm ( 1?2″) deep. (Germination 4-7 days.) As the seedlings emerge, remove spare seedlings to have one per station (thus you will have 16 plants per square.) Alternatively sow in rows 23cm (9″) apart. Sowing ➝ Cropping 4-6 weeks.
