Sowing Instructions
| Sowing time: | spring to mid summer. |
| Sowing depth: | 6mm (¼in) deep in drills 23cm (9in) apart. |
Sow thinly. A moist well drained fertile soil which has had plenty of compost dug in the previous autumn is best. In very hot weather it is best to water the soil before sowing and sow during the early afternoon.
An early spring sowing under cloches will provide a really early crop.
