Sowing Time
January - December
Sowing Indoors
Sow thinly into pots of multipurpose compost (!.3cm or 1/2in deep) and cover lightly with more compost. Put the pot in a warm place (10-15 degrees Celsuis) such as a windowsill and keep moist.
Growing On
Keep seedlings in a light position, but shade from direct sunlight. When large enough to handle, transplant to 8cm (3in) pots, allowing 3 or 4 seedlings per pot.
Growing Outdoors
Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions for 2-3 weeks and then plant out from June to August. Allow 30cm (12in) between each group of plants. Choose a sunny, sheltered spot for best results.
Harvest
Indoors: January - December
Outdoors: July - October
