Sow seeds in pots or trays of good, free-draining, damp seed compost and cover with a sprinkling of vermiculite or compost. Place containers in a propagator, or seal in a polythene bag, at a temperature of 18-21C (65-70F) until after germination, which takes 7-10 days.
Growing Instructions
Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into 7.5cm (3in) pots. Plant in the greenhouse in individual large pots, or 3 plants per growbag when 20cm (8in) high. Can be planted outdoors, 45cm (18in) apart once all frost risk has passed.
Aftercare Instructions
Plants require sideshooting and support for the best yields. Water and feed plants regularly with a high potash feed once the first truss has set.
Kitchen Notes
Makes an attractive addition to salads.
