Sowing Time
Indoors: March - May
Outdoors: May
Sowing Indoors
Sow seeds individually on edge in small pots of moist seed compost 2cm (1in) deep. Place in the warmth 15-18 degrees Celsuis (60-65 Fahrenheit) and cover the pots with cling film until seedlings emerge. Grow on under cool, light conditions, but not in direct sunlight.
Planting Out
Gradually accustom young plants to conditions outside for 2-3 weeks before planting out to their cropping positions when danger of frost has passed. Allow about 90cm (36in) between plants.
Planting Outdoors
Water sowing positions well, then sow two or three seeds close together in a group 2cm (1in) deep. Allow 90cm (36in) between groups. After germination, leave only the strongest seedling in each group.
Aftercare
Water freely and frequently, especially during dry spells. Once fruits start to swell, feed plants regularly with a liquid fertiliser.
Harvest
September - October
