Transplant seedings when large enough to handle into 7.5cm (3 inch) pots. Plant in final situation when 10cm (4 inches) high, 45cm (18 inches) apart. For indoor crops, plant into growbags or pots. For outdoor crops, acclimatise plants to outdoor conditions for a few days before planting in sunny, fertile, moist, well-drained soil.
