Cultivation Advice

Best direct sown outdoors from late March to April when the soil has started warming in full sun on firm, well drained ground. Avoid very wet or cold ground.
Well rotted organic matter can be incorporated onto the sowing area the month prior.
Sow thinly to avoid thinning at a depth of 6-8mm on a fine tilled soil with around 30cm (12″) between rows.
Thin excess seedlings to around 4-5cm between plants.
Protect the young seedlings with netting from birds during spring.
Good resistance to bolting, best on well-drained soil in a sunny location.
