Sowing Time
March – August
Sowing Outdoors
Sow seeds thinly in a shallow row, lightly covering with a little soil. Keep soil moist, as dry conditions impair germination. Remember small sowings made every three weeks through the summer should ensure a continuous supply.
Thinning
Thin seedlings to about 5cm (2in) apart when large enough to handle. Ensure remaining seedlings are still firm in the soil.
Aftercare
Water plants generously in dry weather.
Harvest
May – October. Pick leaves as required.
