| Sowing, Seeds, Planting | Direct sow in small batches every 2-3 weeks from March-August in lines, or blocks. During the summer do not sow in the heat of the day. You can speed the germination process up by sowing into a length of guttering under cover and transplanting outside. |
| Care Tips | The plants need plenty of water, but not too much sun. Hot weather inhibits germination. |
