Sowing & Growing

For early plantings, seeds can be sown indoors under glass at a temperature of 16°C. Plant three seeds per 8cm (3in) pot filled with seed-sowing compost. Alternatively, outdoor sowings can commence from May onward directly into the growing site, planting seeds 5cm (2in) deep. Sow 2-3 seeds every 20-30cm (8-12in) apart, with rows spaced 60cm (24in) apart. Another option is to sow seeds directly into containers.
