Sowing Instructions
| Sowing time: | February to June or September to October. |
|---|
Sow seed on the surface of lightly firmed, moist seed compost in pots or trays.
Cover with a fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite.
Keep at a temperature of between 10-15C (50-59F).
After sowing, do not exclude light as this helps germination.
Keep the surface of the compost moist but not waterlogged; germination can take 1-3 months.
Growing Instructions
When large enough to handle, transplant seedlings into 7.5cm (3in) pots or trays.
Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting out after all risk of frost, 60cm (24in) apart.
For best results, provide a sunny, sheltered site and a deep, fertile, well-drained soil.
Caution
Harmful if eaten.
