Sowing Instructions. Sow outdoors in a well prepared seed bed in early spring. Sow thinly 12mm ( ½in) deep in rows 23cm (9in) apart. If the soil is dry water well and allow to drain before sowing.
Growing Instructions. Transplant at the 5-6 leaf stage 60cm (24in) apart in rows 60cm (24in) apart. The soil should be firm and contain plenty of well rotted compost etc, preferably from a previous crop, it should also be well limed.
