For container growing – sow thinly, drect into the compost. For raised beds try sowing in 30cm squares, spacing four seeds every 15cm, 15mm deep. Germination takes 10-28 days. As the seedlings emerge remove spare seedlings to leave one per station, you will have 9 plants per square. Alternatively sow in rows 30cm apart.
Sowing -> Cropping – 28-32 weeks.
