Sowing Time
March - September
Sowing Outdoors
Sow seeds thinly in a shallow, pre-watered row, coveirng with a little soil. Keep soil moist, as dry conditions impair germination. Remember small sowings made every three weeks through the summer should ensure a continuous supply. Allow 30cm (12in) between rows.
Thinning
Thin seedlings to about 10cm (4in) apart when large enough to handle. Ensure remaining seedlings are still firm in the soil.
Aftercare
Water plants generously in dry weather.
Harvest
April - October. Pick leaves as required.
Special Note
Can be grown under fleece to protect from flea beetle.
