Sowing & Growing

Sow in a propagator on a windowsill at 20-25°C or singly in 7.5cm pots using good quality compost. Cover seeds with 13mm sieved compost maintaining a temperature between 18-21°C. Plant late April onwards into the greenhouse border, grow bags or large pots. Alternatively, later sowings can be planted direct outdoors. Whichever growing method, leave 60cm between plants. Harvest fruits on a regular basis to encourage more fruit. Sowing to cropping: 16-18 weeks.
