Growing On

When seedlings are strong enough to handle they can be planted out 12” (30cm) apart in your desired location in May. Harden off first.

Outdoor planting

Sow seeds 3cm deep direct in growing bed in rows 12” (30cm) apart, which a space of 6” (15cm) between each seed. Keep the soil moist.
