- Ideally sown from April to early June thinly in a well prepared seed bed, 5-10 mm deep in drills 20-30 cm apart.
- Can be sown earlier undercover with warmth in trays.
- Transplant when large enough to handle planting around 50 cm between plants.
- The ground needs to be firmed and ideally rich and well- draining.
- Provide protection against pigeons whilst young and over-winter.
